Australian deathcore powerhouse and ardent animal rights activists, TO THE GRAVE, have shared their latest fiery single ‘Burn Your Local Butcher’. The track is taken from their upcoming third full-length release titled Everyone’s A Murderer, scheduled for release on 30th August via Unique Leader Records.
Sharing the ‘how-to’ guide of their latest single, TO THE GRAVE’s incendiary vocalist, DaneEvans explains:
“For this you’ll need: a glass bottle. any flammable (or combustible) liquid (alcoholic drinks with a higher percentage of alcohol can also work), a rug or towel.
First, take the glass bottle and pout your flammable liquid in there. Take the towel, twist it to the size that fits into the bottle, then put it into the bottle, making sure the larger part of the towel is outside the bottle, not inside, otherwise you risk activating it instantly when you burn the towel.
Now, when you want to use it, light the towel on fire, and try throwing the molotov cocktail as soon as possible after that.”
| Everyone’s A Murderer promises to be TO THE GRAVE‘s heaviest and most evolved offering yet, both sonically and thematically. The album attacks societal and environmental themes with the relentless intensity the band are known for, giving voice to the voiceless via their unique, signature blend of brutally impactful deathcore. Providing further insight on the new album, Evans shares: “For this record my aim was to speak through the faceless activists that fight for animals, for those living in vystopia feeling alone and helpless in a world that will fight tooth and nail to defend the animal holocaust. Due to it being illegal to rescue farmed animals from abuse these activists must stay silent about it to avoid having their own freedom taken. It wasn’t an easy task, it’s never going to do justice to the horrors animals go through every day by the millions in cold, dark sheds around the world or to those that have witnessed it and are doing everything they can to put an end to it. There’s no words, no lyrics and no music that can describe the violence or bring back the lives stolen by human hands, so this is for them.”  TO THE GRAVE – ‘Burn Your Local Butcher’Single Artwork – Download hi-res version here“Our idea for this album evolved so much before it started but we knew we wanted something that sounded classic, like it was from a different decade entirely. It had to have all the elements that brought us all towards deathcore all those years ago combined with all the modern touches you’d find in the recent TTG material, all whilst trying to do something new and step outside our comfort zone in the process. It was cool to work with the new lineup on the gritty details like production, tones and getting the energy of the drums down. Once the album was in a listenable state these guys really gave it all personality and brought everything to the table to shape this new sound. We’re very critical of ourselves as artists and have made music in the past that for whatever reason we haven’t loved. With that in mind I think the overall goal with this record was to make something that regardless of what anyone else thought, we were proud of and I’m happy that we all had that shared vision in mind. We probably had the most fun making this record that we’ve ever had and it felt liberating to be able to make something that we liked. It felt like starting the band from new again and only having the pressure of wanting to write cool shit. The singles are tough as fuck and I think do a good job of representing the blunt force approach on the album leaving a tonne of surprises in the sharps bin for when people pick it up on release day. That should make sense when it drops.” TO THE GRAVE will also be embarking on a UK and EU tour alongside Signs of the Swarm and Veil of Maya on the Faces of Death tour this October. 2024 AUSTRALIA – w/ support No Life (NZ) 30/08 Fri – Melbourne, Stay Gold w/ Identity Error 31/08 Sat – Sydney, The Landsdowne w/ Facecutter USA – Supporting OCEANO (Announced) 09/05 Thurs – Detroit, MI 09/06 Fri – Cleveland, OH 09/07 Sat – Erie, PA 09/08 Sun – Brooklyn, NY 09/10 Tues – Baltimore, MD 09/11 Wed – Greensboro, NC 09/12 Thurs – Columbia, SC 09/13 Fri – West Palm Beach, FL 09/14 Sat – Orlando, FL 09/15 Sun – Atlanta, GA 09/17 Tues – Houston, TX 09/18 Wed – San Antonio, TX 09/19 Thurs – Dallas, TX 09/20 Fri – El Paso, TX 09/21 Sat – Albuquerque, NM 09/22 Sun – Phoenix, AZ 09/24 Tues – Anaheim, CA 09/25 Wed – Fresno, CA 09/26 Thurs – Sacramento, CA 09/27 Fri – Portland, OR 09/28 Sat – Seattle, WA 09/29 Sun – Spokane, WA 10/01 Tues – Salt Lake City, UT 10/02 Wed – Denver, CO 10/03 Thurs – Omaha, NE 10/04 Fri – Chicago, IL EU / UK – Faces of Death Tour w/ Veil of Maya, Signs Of The Swarm, Varials 25.10 – Engine Rooms, Southampton 26.10 – Club Academy, Manchester 27.10 – Slay, Glasgow 28.10 – The Fleece, Bristol 30.10 – Electric Ballroom, London 31.10 – O2 Institute2, Birmingham01/11 Fri – FR Paris 02/11 Sat – DE Stuttgart 03/11 Sun – DE Frankfurt 05/11 Tues – DE Nuremberg 06/11 Wed – CH Aarau 07/11 Thurs – IT Milan 08/11 Fri – SI Ljubljana 09/11 Sat – AT Vienna 10/11 Sun – DE Munich 12/11 Tues – DE Berlin 13/11 Wed – PL Warsaw 14/11 Thurs – CZ Prague 15/11 Fri – DE Dresden 16/11 Sat – DE Hamburg 17/11 Sun – SE Gothenburg 19/11 Tues – SE Stockholm 20/11 Wed – DK Copenhagen 21/11 Thurs – DE Hannover 22/11 Fri – NL Tilburg 23/11 Sat – DE Cologne 24/11 Sun – NL Haarlem 2025 AUS – Supporting Lorna Shore w/ Bodysnatcher (Announced) 14/02 Fri – Perth, WA Metropolis 18+ 16/02 Sun – Adelaide, SA Hindley St Music Hall 18/02 Tues – Melbourne, VIC Forum Theatre – SOLD OUT 20/02 Thurs – Sydney, NSW Enmore Theatre – SOLD OUT 22/02 Sat – Brisbane, QLD Fortitude Music Hall – SOLD OUT Tickets available here: https://tothegraveau.com/. |
