It’s a new decade, and a new chance to make classics. In the eyes of London metallic hardcore crew Dead Man’s Chest, these include Reign in Blood, Burn My Eyes, and Perseverance, and it’s on these pillars and more that the band stake their thrash-meets-hardcore claim.
The quintet have been busy in their fourteen-year existence, with several releases and high-profile tours with the likes of Cro-Mags, Sick of It All, Madball, Integrity and more to their name.
Now, it’s time to kick off 2020 with a short sharp shock of a release entitled “Dear God,” whose striking artwork paints an accurate picture of the caustic content within.
On the flipside, United States of Me highlights the metallic side with a nod or two to Slayer as seen through a crossover prism.
Ultimately, “Dear God” is a visceral listen that is absolutely vital for metallic hardcore fans.
Aficionados and newcomers are in good hands with Dead Man’s Chest, who know exactly how to exhort your inner moshpit. Listen with caution.
"Dear God will be released on 7" vinyl (Gold, Half Gold/Half Black and Classic Black) on February 28.
