Unhalløwed, which arrives with a live performance video, marks the latest preview of the American metal giants' upcoming 10th album, 'Øf Kingdøm And Crøwn', due out on August 26 via Nuclear Blast/Imperium Recordings.
Speaking of the slow-burning track and its thrashy conclusion, guitarist-vocalist Robb Flynn commented:
"Drowning in the deepest depression of his life, Eros is at a breaking point. Collecting heartaches, loss, and near psychotic isolation, Unhalløwed is the beginning of a powerful shift of our story. An introspective narrative starts the song lyrically, which is a collaborative effort written by myself, guitarist Wacław 'Vogg' Kiełtyka, and bassist and backing vocalist Jared MacEachern and encapsulates the collective strength of this writing team.
"Anchored by an absolutely monstrous groove, the vocals melodically mirror the state of mind of Eros as he reels from the loss of his mother to a drug overdose and begins a slow downward spiral into madness. However, the culmination of the track infuses some much-needed light, but will it be enough?"
