Canadian death metallers, Backstabber, have a four-track EP to be released which is expected to be released on March 15, 2024.
This EP comes 5 years after the band’s “Conspiracy Theorist” full-length album was released in 2019.
The EP is lyrically based on James Redfield’s “The Celestine Prophecy” and the theory of four patterns that serve as conduits for manipulating someone else’s attention and energy.
The first single off this new offering, “Harvesting The Weak”, presented now in video format takes a look at The Intimidator, as the band explains:
“It is the most brutal pattern; Intimidation. It hits you right in the face while teabagging your knocked-out sack of bones in front of your friends. We’re talking Death metal from old-school riffs to slamming brutal death.”
Musically we have strong well-played death metal with sounds being very close to bands such as Revocation, Hypocrisy, Kataklysm and Lamb of God.
From sharp riffs, which are influenced by old school death metal, developed and mixed with contemporary.
Blistering rhythms and the very good production ties and highlights the diversity and uniqueness of the compositions.
It’s worth listening to and I’m sure you’ll stick around!
