ABOUT DEATH RAY VISION:
Commencing writing in late 2018 following a tour with Killswitch Interact – who share bassist Mike D’Antonio with DRV – the band had quite a lot of inventive momentum nonetheless burning following that 12 months’s Damaging Psychological Angle and saved it rolling. The outcomes will display that they’re enjoying on the prime of their recreation. “We’re much more cohesive as a band after enjoying collectively for therefore a few years, and we’ve gotten higher at songwriting and collaborating to deliver out the most effective in everybody’s concepts,” says guitarist Pete Cortese.

An extra new dimension affecting the sound is the addition of vocalis Bennett to the band’s ranks, who the prevailing members knew could be the proper match from his time with notable acts Wrecking Crew, Panzerbastard (each of whom shared the stage with Cortese and D’Antonio’s different band Overcast), and Ramallah. “Keith brings a complete lot of piss and vinegar, with a facet of road cred. He introduced a brand new sense of enthusiasm and pleasure and acquired us much more fired as much as make an awesome document,” says Cortese. Guitarist Chris Rosati provides, “Creatively talking, Keith is a power of nature. His capability to get inside a brand new music and shortly give you vocals and lyrics is absolutely one thing to witness.”

Lyrically, No Mercy From Electrical Eyes is a extra politically charged document than their earlier releases – “it’s extra pissed off, and anybody listening to the state of the world can perceive why,” says Cortese – but it surely’s additionally deeply private for Bennett. “Each phrase I’m singing is from the guts,” says the vocalist. “I ought to have been useless just a few years in the past, I’m right here for a cause.

The document is wrapped up with a title drawn from the lyrics of one of many tracks – Cortese stating that it makes excellent sense given their band identify – and vivid paintings courtesy of D’Antonio, which based on the bassist stems from the concept “of ‘being underneath the thumb of an ethereal overlord’. The concern of figuring out the ‘grasp’ is watching your each transfer, from a brief distance away. On this world, solely obedience is accepted and completely no mercy is given to those that fail.” Having poured a lot of their hearts and souls into No Mercy From Electrical Eyes, the band hope to play the songs dwell as a lot as doable, and have aspirations of touring outdoors of the US for the primary time, however on the finish of the day they’re pleased with what they’ve achieved and consider they’re price giving a rattling about, as a result of they provide a rattling about the whole lot they do. “We made an awesome document that doesn’t sound like many up to date metallic bands,” says Cortese. “It’s heavy as fuck with out having to depend on drop Z tuning, and it’s an awesome stability of aggressive and melodic with out sounding contrived.“
