Ov Sulfur, blackened deathcore outfit ft. Suffokate's Ricky Hoover, have dropped a blistering new track "Bathe in the Flame". Opening with a melody that is straight slasher flick, spine sweat inducing. The track then builds with bracing vocals, thundering drums and a maelstrom of guitars and bass. The lyrics themselves are a testament to embracing your dark side.
Vocalist Ricky Hoover comments: "Bathing in the flame could be taken literally, like you're burning in hell. But it's more a metaphor for finding comfort in embracing your humanity, which is often broken and bad—if not downright evil. It's in our nature to live in the grey."
Guitarist Chase Wilson continues: "This song is definitely more blackened than 'Behind the Hand of God.' We went from planning to be a tech death band to blackened deathcore, so we figured out our sound as we went. It's a pretty huge leap between the two. Our other guitarist Cory Walker also took over the orchestral elements from here moving forward and crushed a killer solo, to boot."
