On the new single, Beyond Extinction vocalist, Jasper Harmer comments:
“Collaborating with two big-hitters in UK heavy music – Dilan Alves of Harbinger for a feature and Charlie Wilson at Monolith Studios for production – we are very excited to release the first of two very raw and visceral death metal tracks as part of the Nothing More Wretched anniversary edition – celebrating one year of our most successful release to date. “Reverse Life Support” allows the unrelenting weight of the band’s double-drop-D tuning to blend with an intensity reminiscent of Swedish-chainsaw style death metal. “Reverse Life Support”’s themes call upon the memories of a hospitalisation in 2022 caused by a sudden and intense allergic reaction to medicine, only weeks before heading out on the band’s first ever UK tour. Notably, this is our first release since founding guitarist Zach Scott passed away, we are grateful to be releasing music which benefited from his influence and writing and bringing him along with us.”
On the long-time coming collaboration, Harbinger’s Dilan Alves states:
“Very stoked that Jasper and the boys let me put my stamp on such a gruesome track, and I can imagine the carnage when we get to share the stage for this tune. I am very proud of these guys and have a lot of faith that this is just the beginning for them.”
Beyond Extinction also recently announced a poignant tribute show to their late guitarist, Zach Scott, who passed away in August 2023. Raising awareness for the alarming rate of male suicide in the UK, this heartfelt event takes place on 17th August 2024 in The Underworld, London, and sees a line-up consisting of bands that Zach toured and worked closely with over the years, including Beyond Extinction, Godeater, Glower, Bitterwood, Existentialist, Dygora, How Long Have You Been Driving, and headliners Osiah.
