EVERY TIME I DIE
To Release “From Parts Unknown” In July

very Time I Die have just announced the release of their seventh studio album, From Parts Unknown on July 1st via Epitaph. After sixteen years as a band, they know what works and could go on doing the same thing – but that would be “boring and baseless,” according to vocalist Keith Buckley. “Instead of making something that the kids can all sing along to, we wanted to make music that scares them,” he adds. Every Time I Die spent a month recording with legendary/guru producer and Converge co-founder Kurt Ballou at his GodCity Studio in Salem, Massachusetts. “Working with Kurt was stressful in the best way, like when your dad comes to watch you play baseball for the first time and you just want to make him proud,” says Buckley. Ballou challenged the band to dig deeper, work quickly, and create heavy but catchy tracks. Vocals transverse from dark and light by swerving from scream to howl to like a fired-up war cry. Guitarists Jordan Buckley and Andy Williams, and drummer Ryan Leger cement their massive riffs, frantic rhythms, and brutal vocal work into a dozen of the most awesomely devastating songs the band’s created so far. The album’s title was initially inspired by a term used by wrestlers to increase their mystique, From Parts Unknown ultimately references the more hopeful mood that creeped into its lyrics during songwriting. “I didn’t even realize I had that more positive outlook in me,” notes Buckley. From Parts Unknown has Brian Fallon of Gaslight Anthem and Sean Ingram of Coalesce lending their vocals to a few tracks as well. This is for sure of the most highly anticipated records of this year and maybe might be that game changing record that they have been always pushing forward. This new release seems to find Every Time I Die brighter into their emotional territory than they’ve ever explored before. Every Time I Die
