LA, California’s Against The Grave recently dropped their latest single, “Living The End.” Like their previous tracks, “Killing Us Slowly” and “Anthem Embattled,” it is accompanied by a video directed by Nathan Karma Cox (Korn, Marilyn Manson, Seether). The band have now shared a playthrough video for “Living The End,” by guitarists Andrea Martis and George Arguello. Catch it in the article below.
Guitarist Andrea Martis says, “We started out using “Living The End” as an intro for our shows, a punch in the face to kick things off, but after that, we soon knew we had to expand it into a full song.The main riff is so powerful, one of those songs that is so fun to play because you get to headbang the whole time. Simple, punchy, catchy…. pure, and simple.” For the video, Martis explains “We brought back the monsters again! This time we went for a very dark, evil vibe to match the darkness of the song.”
Vocalist Jordan Gaw shares “Dark curiosity, massive aggression, and this evil mystery thing with our monsters gave us visuals that feel like a haunted metal nightmare.” Regarding the latest single “Living The End,” Gaw adds “This is one of those tunes that wrote itself, it persisted to be recognized, lyrically a metaphor for the times we’re currently in with a stylistic direction of industrial metal.”
“Bleeding You,” their second single, is another glimpse at the horsepower and pure hook resonating from the depths of a grimy downtown Los Angeles rehearsal studio.
“That drum fill leading to the gallop with the groovy riff is so sick, and such a great hook, this song is one the first things that drew me to the band” – Michael Morrone
“After tearing up stages around Hollywood with this track, we’re finally ready to unleash ‘Anthem Embattled’. Psyched to not only be releasing a sonically kick ass recording but also an insanely wild video. It’s just simply furious, a groove metal track with a truck load of energy and immersive visuals of the desert just north of us! Blessed to have had Nate bring that energy to our eyes and Nick Bellmore and Ulrich Wild to have cranked it for our ears. Check it Out!” – Jordan Gaw

Against the Grave recently were featured on Sirius XM’s Liquid Metals Corridor of Covers with their heavy take on Depeche Mode‘s “Wrong” from the B-side of their haunting release “The Death of Trust”. ““Wrong” was a creative challenge taking a synth tune and giving that metal vibe, then transforming it again live.” – George Arguello
Against The Grave’s groove-dominated metal draws influence and features familiar sounds from legendary artists such as Slipknot, Rob Zombie, and Pantera. But make no mistake, this music is an explosive version all on its own.
