THE AUTUMN OFFERING: 'Born Dead' Video Released
August 5, 2010"Born Dead", the new video from THE AUTUMN OFFERING, can be viewed below. The clip was filmed in Chicago with director Eric Richter.
"Born Dead" comes off THE AUTUMN OFFERING's new, self-titled album, which is scheduled for release on August 31 via Victory Records. According to a press release, the CD is "the band's most crushing release to date" and is "chock-full of blast beats and twin guitar wizardry" while "vocalist Matt McChesney sounds as if he is being burned at the stake."
McChesney and drummer Brian Sculley met while both were in the New England grind band CADAVERYNE. Tommy Church did his time in the death metal outfit END OF ALL, which later went on to become KILL WHITNEY DEAD. Newcomer Jesse Nunn served in SCUM OF THE EARTH and SILENT CIVILIAN.
Commented McChesney: "I always thought we were unfairly lumped in with the 'metalcore' bands. I always thought we did much more musically and were a bit more sophisticated than your typical good-cop/bad-cop band. It takes balls to admit this, but yeah, we wrote a few songs that were mistakes. We made a push, half heartedly, for the mainstream. Yet I feel like a few bad choices don't taint two albums that I love dearly.
"There were a million reasons to make a record like this. Also, sensing the death of that genre of metal, it made no sense to make a record that resembled it. I think we came out of it all, integrity intact."
