Texas metalcore act UPON A BURNING BODY have premiered another new song from their forthcoming album “Fury“ called “A New Responsibility” which can be seen below.
The music video was directed by David Brodsky (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER). UPON A BURNING BODY’s “Fury” album will arrive on May 6th via Seek & Strike Records.
Speaking of the album and this latest single from it, UPON A BURNING BODY guitarist Ruben Alvarez says: “After listening to the complete album we knew we had created something that represents what the band stands for on and off stage. ‘Fury‘ is a whole new monster. We’ve always been a band that experiments and ‘Fury‘ is definitely the stamp we needed on our own signature sound. We brought in elements from our first three albums and mixed them with our last two. If you like the heavy riffs from ‘Red, White and Green‘ or the groove of ‘Southern Hostility‘, then you are going to be stoked on this!
He continued: “The biggest change on this album is Danny and my younger brother, Thomas Alvarez. Now having three biological brothers writing and performing together, what more can you ask for? Thomas has already brought so much to the table; helping us as a song-writer since ‘Southern Hostility‘ and now adding another vocal element. He has brought a ton of fresh ideas and writing has never been easier.
He adds: We knew we had to set the tone for the rest of the album by coming out with a banger. ‘A New Responsibility‘ opens the floodgates to the rest of the album and prepares you for an unrelenting listening experience. ‘Code Of Honor‘ is the anthem and was written as a tribute to anyone who has and is currently serving in the military. Upon A Burning Body has been through a lot of changes throughout the years and we have come full circle back to our roots. We are ready to keep pushing forward on our albums and live performances. ‘Fury‘ is definitely a huge step for us to show the world that we are here to stay and American Heavy Metal is alive and stronger than ever!”
