To The Grave Unleash Crushing New Single & Music Video "Sawed Off"
Australian deathcore outfit To The Grave have released their new single, Sawed Off.
Known for their unapologetically animal rights-driven message, the band continues to deliver a sonic assault that leaves no doubt about their commitment to the cause.
To accompany this new track, the group has confirmed a lineup change: Raymond Martin (The Senate, Terrordactyl) has officially joined as their new drummer.
Speaking on Sawed Off, frontman Dane Evans shared:
Sawed Off was one of the first songs we ever wrote for the whole cycle. Knowing we wanted a more mosh-forward approach to a few songs, we came up with this one, and it went through very few changes to get to this point in all honesty.
The song itself is about the government trying to neuter the voices of activists in Australia with ag-gag laws and swaying public perception against them. Its paired with a message that this shouldnt deter activists and whistleblowers from speaking up and getting angry, its assumed that this will help fight that negative perception and do more good for animals when thats exactly what these industries want us to think.
The video to us represents the many aspects of what the band truly holds dear. Animals, activists, our friends, family and fans were all included and made this video what it was. Thank you for being involved! Killshot motherfucker.
Regarding the addition of Raymond Martin to their lineup, the band shared:
Were stoked to have Raymond officially on board as a member of To The Grave. He jumped in to do the Faces of Death European tour with us last year, and we knew we had to keep him. Weve known him for years, so we knew hes a great drummer, but hes such a good fit with everyone and already a super hard-working member of the band.
Upcoming tour dates include:
08/09 Jaromer, CZE Brutal Assault Festival
08/14 Dinkelsbuhl, GER Summer Breeze
08/15 Brittany, FRA Motocultor Festival
08/16 Colmar, FRA Spirit In Black Festival
08/21 Andernach, GER Deathfeast Open Air
08/23 Ludenscheid, GER Bautz Festival
08/30 Hertfordshire, UK Vegan Campout Festival
With Sawed Off and their new lineup, To The Grave is poised to continue delivering a sonic assault that tackles themes of animal rights and activism. Will the force be with them this time around? That remains to seen, but one thing is certain: their unwavering dedication to their cause will not falter.
