Bay Area natives and thrash metal band Hatchet have released the second single from their upcoming album, Fear Beyond Lunacy, available October 30 via The End Records.

The lyric video for 'Living In Extinction' just premiered with Metal Injection! CLICK HERE TO WATCH!

Says Hatchet's founding member, vocalist, and lead guitarist, Julz Ramos: "'Living In Extinction' is a much faster paced and intense song than 'The World Beyond', which was released in August. I got the lyrical inspiration for this song after seeing a movie called 'The Chernobyl Diaries'. I became really fascinated by the scenery of the abandoned city of Pripyat and, of course, the Chernobyl plant itself. Something about an entire city just left to rot gives a very eerie, but undeniable sense of awe. I kept looking at pictures of it and just reading about what happened there and how quickly it was abandoned, it seemed like it would make a cool song. Just imagining being asleep in your bed and wakened by nuclear sirens, gas masked military soldiers banging on your door instructing you to leave everything behind, and that chaos all around just screamed thrash song to me! Hahaha. I especially like the way the chorus chant came out as it calls to the date of the disaster. Can't wait to unveil the rest of the album on October 30th!"
