Stream the new song and video on YouTube at:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWCw0blnhN8.This is Where Death Beginswill release thisFriday, June 3on Out of Line Music.
"'Skullcrusher' is one of those tracks on the album that makes me just want to destroy shit when we play it live," said Combichrist founder/vocalist Andy LaPlegua. "It's all about broken promises, empty words and that nothing lasts forever. But, musically, it's really the opposite for me. Skullcrusher...it's a promise I keep."
An apocalyptic behemoth of guitars, electronica, infernal drums and dark elemental force,This is Where Death Beginswas produced by Oumi Kapila (Filter) plus Combichrist's own Andy LaPlegua and mastered by the legendary Vlado Meller (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Slipknot). The 15-track album also features guest vocals from Chris Motionless (Motionless in White) and Ariel Levitan (MXMS).
"I finally feel like we came full circle with this album, considering we're all from the punk rock, hardcore and metal backgrounds," commented LaPlegua. "After 10 years of electronica in the studio and a full live band, I feel like I captured the live sound and energy. Every style of music that I have done through the last 25 years has some kind of presence on this album."
"This Is Where Death Begins"will be released on CD, deluxe double-CD, double-vinyl and as a strictly limited fan box containing the double-CD plus an exclusive DVD of the Combichrist performance at the Summer Breeze Festival 2015 in Germany.
