EARTHLESS Returns With Crunchy New Song "Death To The Red Sun"

Well, part of it anyway.

Earthless

Earthless is back with their first new album since 2018, titled Night Parade Of One Hundred Demons, due out on January 28. The band is now streaming a three-minute excerpt of the 20-minute jam "Death To The Red Sun" that you can check out below. As for the album name, bassist Mike Eginton said it's inspired by an ancient Japanese legend of the same name.

"My son and I came across the Night Parade Of One Hundred Demons in a book of traditional Japanese ghost stories," said Eginton. "I like the idea of people hiding and being able to hear the madness but not see it. It's the fear of the unknown."

"It definitely has a darker, almost evil kind of vibe compared to stuff we've done in the past," added drummer Mario Rubalcaba of the album's overall sound. "There's more paranoia and noise, and some of Isaiah's whammy-bar stuff kind of reminds me of these Jeff Hanneman moments in Reign In Blood, where it just seems like everything is going to hell. It's pretty fun."

Night Parade Of One Hundred Demons, known as Hyakki Yagyō, states that anyone who witnesses this otherworldly procession will die instantly—or be carried off by the creatures of the night. As a result, the villagers hide in their homes, lest they become victims of these supernatural invaders.
