Florida-based brutal hardcore outfit LOYAL UNTIL DEATH is preparing for the July release of their ruthless new LP, Remain Defiant, through 1732 Records, this week unleashing an official lyric video for the album’s “What Never Dies” through an exclusive premiere at Decibel Magazine (watch below).
Fans of Terror, Crucified, Hatebreed, and other top-tier metallic hardcore acts will not hesitate to dive headfirst into the brutal grooves and antagonistic delivery of “What Never Dies,” as LOYAL UNTIL DEATH comes swinging with lines like, “Broward County: dropping the hammer down on you motherfuckers.”
Decibel issues with the video premiere,
“There must be something in the Florida water. The state is home to a slew of recent hardcore bands putting out unapologetically heavy and aggressive albums (Gouge Away, Bind, Blistered, to name a few). Enter LOYAL UNTIL DEATH, who bring a dose of negativity and reality with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Listen to new song ‘What Never Dies’ to get a taste of the trio’s new album Remain Defiant, a whirlwind of dual-vocal led hardcore punk that slows to a groovy breakdown that’s sure to incite chaos in the mosh pit.”
LOYAL UNTIL DEATH delivers the follow-up to their first full-length, Born Of Violence, and once again slaps the world a huge dose of reality. With punishing guitar riffs, merciless lyrics, multiple vocal deliveries, and drums that march to machine gun fire, Remain Defiant is a war cry heard by the Gods, an album created as a big middle finger to the music scene, to society… to the world. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Iceman Studios in Royal Palm Beach with maestro Daniel Columbo (Old Habits, Ether, Incited, Cinderblock, Bishop) at the helm, who captured the sound the band was looking for; gut-wrenching guitar tones, earth shattering drums. It was the missing link to take the band’s sound to the next level. Completing the album is artwork by Eliran Kantor.
Lyrics:
Just when you thought it was over. Just when you thought it was safe
The calculation,the consequence, put you in a pistol range
Bathed in inert frustrations no longer groomed in fear
Trigger pulled. Body drops. Bottom line, conscience clearWe fight tooth and nail every day – Scratching and clawing every inch of the way.
YOU CAN’T KILL what burns inside YOU CAN’T KILL what never diesStep into my war zone and breathe in all my hatred
My existence is witness through the eyes of hell all the prayer in the world won’t change this
I find no good in my fellow man, wanna see him eradicated
Radiate this whole fucking place lay waste to all its patronsWe fight tooth and nail every day – Scratching and clawing every inch of the way.
YOU CAN’T KILL what burns inside YOU CAN’T KILL what never dies
Fuck your forgiveness. I’m still relentless. Still repent-less.
Forgetting nothing. Forgiving no one. WE WILL NEVER …STOPBroward County dropping the hammer down on you mother fuckers
If you want it, come get it
I’ll be obliged to set you straight
Old School, old dogs, old way of life
Never to compromise what we believe
