Vocalist Jörgen Sandström (The Project Hate MCMXCIX, ex-Grave, ex-Entombed), guitarist Scott Sargeant (ex-Skinlab, ex-Lȧȧz Rockit), bassist Danny Lilker (Nuclear Assault, ex-Anthrax), and drummer Will Carroll (Death Angel, Scarecrow) have all teamed up for a new song called "This Means You Die." the song was inspired by Sargeant's cover songs throughout the pandemic, and specifically by the crushing music of Celtic Frost.
"It all started with the COVID lockdown videos – I was seeing my peers doing cover songs of other bands," said Sargeant. "So about a year or so ago, I thought of doing the same thing with friends that I've made during my years of touring… but I wanted to do something a little different. Instead of COVERING a song, I wanted to WRITE a song that would pay tribute to a particular band, but have it be my interpretation of the influence that band had on me during my impressionable years. And in this case it was Celtic Frost.
"So I got a hold of Jorgen and told him about the idea and we wrote the song via the wonder of the internet. (He's in Sweden and I'm in Texas). Once the song was written, I called my other long time friends Will, Danny and Juan to see if they would be interested in recording it…And they all really dug the Celtic Frost vibe, song and idea…so here we are."
"This Means You Die" was mixed and mastered by Juan Urteaga (Testament, Exodus, Machine Head). The single is available here.
