Tyler Beam – vocals
Wyatt McLaughlin – guitars
Andrew Petway – bass
Dylan Potts – drums

THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE will unleash their intense and heavy eighth full-length, The Dead Ones, on April 17. Insanely heavy and intensely personal, The Dead Ones marks the band’s Metal Blade Records debut. Produced by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland of Pennsylvania’s Atrium Audio, with their latest offering, the band focused on the guitar, bass, and drum tones as well as the mix/master to achieve what guitarist Wyatt McLaughlin calls “a super-thick sonic output and ‘rolling-tank’-like feel.” The Dead Ones was recorded with a six-string baritone Viper from ESP-LTD, tuned to Drop F, the same tuning used on the band’s 2012 Warpath EP. To elevate the intensity, the band also used an Earthquaker Devices Sunn O))) and Keeley Octa Psi droptune pedal on certain sections. The record also includes four insane features: “Make It To Heaven” includes David Simonich of Signs Of The Swarm, Nate Johnson (ex-Fit For An Autopsy) appears on “Rat Trap,” “Dollar To A Dime” has Alan Grnja of Distant, and “XXXXXXXXXX” features original THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE vocalist Storm Strope. 

The Dead Ones will be released on CD and digital formats as well as vinyl in the following color variants: Tan Smoke (U.S.), Purple Marble (U.S.), Grey Black Marbled (EU – Ltd. 300), Metallic Silver with Purple And Blue Smoke (EU – Ltd. 250), and Silver Black Melt (EU – Ltd. 250). Find preorders in the link below:

Having listened to and also worked personally with the band for quite some time, to say I’m excited for the new release is an understatement. Having already listened to the new release, “The Dead Ones,” I can only imagine how heavy the other songs on the record are. Their newly announced headlining tour is definitely one for the books, as they have some majorly heavy bands on the bill. I had the opportunity to see them on their currently running tour supporting Left to Suffer on the first night of the run — nothing but movement from the crowd, as well as myself. If you think “The Dead Ones” is heavy while listening to it on your streaming service, you should hear it live. Grab your tickets for their upcoming headlining tour and current supporting tour, and support the music scene by moshing until you can’t anymore at the shows.
