EVERY TIME I DIE To Film 'Wanderlust' Video
July 22, 2009Buffalo bruisers EVERY TIME I DIE will film a video for the track "Wanderlust" this coming weekend with director Chris Sims (PAPA ROACH, LAMB OF GOD, POISON THE WELL). The song comes off the band's new album, "New Junk Aesthetic", which is scheduled for release on September 15 via Epitaph Records.
"'New Junk Aesthetic' is not the next logical step in the progression of EVERY TIME I DIE," explains frontman Keith Buckley. "It is an evolutionary leap. It's as if we have morphed from a single-celled bacteria straight to the guy with the dirt bike that will let you watch his older sister suntan if you steal him a smoke from your parents. Certainly you may acknowledge similarities, but on a grand scale, they stand light years apart."
Maniacal, convulsive and completely unpredictable are but a few words that come to mind when listening to "New Junk Aesthetic". With "Big Dirty" producer Steve Evetts at the helm again, ETID set out to corrupt souls and bring fans to their knees with an orchestrated chaos of their heaviest most skillful album.
Like the calm before a storm, "New Junk Aesthetic" opens with the metal-gazer, doom-ridden track "Roman Holiday", and then quickly segues like a sucker-punch into the thrashing first single "The Marvelous Slut" (featuring guest vocals from Greg Puciato of THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN),which sets the tone for the remainder of the album. ETID continues to raise the bar on all fronts, from Andy Williams and Jordan Buckley's one-two punch on guitars to Josh Newton's brutish bass rumblings on "For The Record" and Keith Buckley's stunning vocal range as showcased in the standout thunderous-rock anthem "Wanderlust". On the pit-swirler "The Sweet Life", Keith belts out "ain't nothing gonna break my stride — ain't nothing gonna slow me down," which features guest vocals from Matt Caughthran (THE BRONX),and pretty much sums up the relentless energy of the band and new album.
As visually stunning as they are musically, guitarist Jordan Buckley has been the artistic force behind the ETID's graphics. The astonishing cover imagery of "New Junk Aesthetic" features a mythological god covering his eyes with see-through hands and each song is represented by its own unique artwork.
"Aside from contributing to the creation of the 13 greatest EVERY TIME I DIE songs ever written, 'New Junk Aesthetic' will also contain almost 40 pages of my hand rendered illustrations, that, for the first time ever, offer visual insight into the genius lyrics that ETID fans have come to expect from my brother and bandmate Keith," explains guitarist Jordan Buckley. "With the band in complete control over what you hear, see and hold, 'New Junk Aesthetic' will move culture into a place where the possession of a CD is an authentic experience so powerful that you won't even be able to cover your eyes; a feeling long overdue, but guaranteed to be worth the wait."
ETID will co-headline the "Epitaph Presents" tour along with labelmates BRING ME THE HORIZON beginning Sept 8 in support of "New Junk Aesthetic". Tickets are on sale now at LiveNation.com.
