Norway's grindcore innovators Beaten To Death are back to rip your ears out with their punishing new single, "Run Burn Move Die." The band surprised fans with their new album Laat maar, ik verhuis naar het bos, last month, available only on vinyl. Order the album here.
The band says of the decision to surprise fans "This time we decided to make a vinyl release that would never be available in any other format.” Says the band about the option of releasing the album on vinyl. “This package has been mixed and track listed purposely for vinyl release and you will never find it anywhere else. We really love this package and we hope you do too!"
As for the song, vocalist Anti-Climax writes "Lyrically this is one of our most seriously themed songs. We are going for classic thrash metal thematics here. This was written around the time when the world actually opened their eyes for a second and became aware of the Rojava conflict in northern Syria. But I guess it's more or less a generalized comment on how millions of children grow up in war zones with very little possibility of escape or ever experiencing a safe environment, and how – when left with a choice of giving up or rallying around a common cause to fight for a different future – many choose to fight however hopeless that fight may be."
He continued "The video for the song features clips from the second day of recording the album, as well as from one random evening of vocals at Tommy's. Fun fact; the vocals for Burn Run Move Die were recorded during our final vocal session, which happened to take place just as Covid-19 started to spread around the globe in March 2020. Although you won't see it in the video, Anti-Climax marked the occasion by wearing a dust mask during takes, which added a cool muffling effect".
