Playthrough: “Lift The Curse” from Spill Your Guts!

Having been pushed back by a month “It Takes Wrath” by International Blackened Hardcore group Spill Your Guts is finally set to see release on 25th April. Inspired by everyone from All Pigs Must Die to Every Time I Die the album has already been well received by critics  after the band recorded with Scott Middleton from Cancer Bats who also produced and mastered the record at Schoolhouse Studios in Hamilton, Canada. A guitar and bass playthrough video for “Lift The Curse” from the record should tell you what it’s all about…

The band comment: “The Wrath It Takes is the record we’ve always dreamed of making; the record that will destroy venues while handing out high fives; the record that took us several years of hardship to write, produce and record. This record, more than anything we’ve ever released or written, sonically displays the emotional grit and turmoil that we endured to get to this point in our career as a band.

Each song on this record exhibits its own nuanced, balanced characteristics of melody and aggression fused with rasping vocals and ferocious percussion. As a band we lived through an extreme grasp on life by the government, which escalated into our homes being raided, constant live show raids and cancellations, arrests and deportations from the country. As we witnessed our scene being forced back into invite-only jam room studio shows, it seemed like personal problems just kept piling on top of it all. The resulting turmoil in our lives meant that lyrically this record took a much darker and deeper path than anything we’ve written before and focuses on a threaded narrative of personal liberation; from relationships, from governments, from societies and from very real turning points in our lives that we’ve all had to go through”
