Here‘s what the band has to say about their first single off of the upcoming album, Violence Is Gold:
“This is a song about actual physical violence. Either in an environment of competition or combat. Two people fighting each other. No more words needed. Time for action. Without judgment though. Just the plain and simple aesthetics of physical confrontation of two individuals when there‘s nothing left to say. It‘s hard, it‘s raw and it‘s brutal.”

More from Endseeker:
Death metal is the great undead of subgenres: rising, again and again. Germany‘s Endseeker have made their intent to kill again more than apparent over the last nine years. Formed in Hamburg in 2014, the quintet have swiftly built a reputation as one of European death metal‘s most dynamic wrecking crews.
Working once again with esteemed engineer and mixing maestro Eike Freese, Endseeker hit the studio like a nailbomb in a graveyard. The result is Global Worming. These nine new songs remain rooted in Endseeker‘s beloved bedrock of Dismember-style savagery, but from the slithering monstrosity of the opening title track, to the epic grandiloquence of closer “Nemesis”, Global Worming is an unusually vivid and versatile piece of work.
“I guess our main goal was to write a record that was at least as good as Mount Carcass and to follow the path we have set with that record even further,” says guitarist Ben. “We wanted the songwriting to be more on point while at the same time to be a bit wider when it comes to the boundaries of the death metal genre. We wanted the songs not only to be heavy and brutal but also to have a certain atmosphere to give them real depth.”
“Global Worming revolves around a dystopian future where zombie worms overrun our planet and eat us all until we go extinct,” states Ben. “All that‘s left is this enormous amount of slimy, nasty, undead worms and bugs, nesting inside empty skulls and other human remains, and living their best undead life. It‘s the kind of classic end-of-the-world story we have in death metal! Phonetic similarities between the song title and possible real life future events that threaten our very existence are totally by chance and unintentional!“
“We were inspired by all sorts of shit that‘s going on in the world. I mean, take a look around!” Ben laughs. “There‘s a deep cut ripping right through our society. People are angry beyond reason. They turn towards hate and fascist ideologies. They choose the path of destruction and denial. We have a war going on in Europe. Obvious boneheads get elected. Scientists tell us for decades that we‘re heading straight into drastic climate change and nobody seems to care. It‘s wild! You can‘t make this crap up!“
“All our albums are unique and mark a certain era in our history,” Ben concludes. “Global Worming is no exception. It‘s probably our darkest and heaviest album. It probably just reflects the era we‘re living in. I guess we just process all of this through the music and try to turn the world‘s shit into something we and hopefully a lot of other people can enjoy. We‘re definitely super excited to see where Global Worming will carry us and what lies ahead!“
