Danish Death Metal/Metallic Hardcore band Lifesick have released a new video for “Hollow Treats.” The new track comes off the band’s album, Loved By None, Hated By All, which arrived on November 1st, 2024 via Metal Blade Records.
Lifesick’s lyrics are inspired by the “turbulent nature of life” and they are musically influenced by Swedish Death Metal.
The band says about “Hollow Treats”:
When we were born, we were told all these fairytales about what the world had in store for us. But as soon as you get a taste, you realize there’s nothing inside – no love, no compassion, nothing. This song is catchy with groovy two-step rhythms and even groovier breakdowns. It’s a hardcore track with plenty of sing-along parts, and it ends with a twist of acoustic elements.
Lifesick previously released 2023’s Life And Other Lies EP with Metal Blade Records. As with previous offerings, the LP was recorded by Jacob Bredahl at his Dead Rat facility. This time Bredahl’s role expanded beyond engineering, helping to shape and revise new material.
They say:
He came down to our rehearsal room where we played all the songs for him live, so he could add his touch to each song or edit stuff that we might have been a little blind to from playing the songs too much. This was the first time we did this, and it was very effective.
Lifesick has tours across Denmark and Southeast Asia booked through the new year with more shows to be announced in the weeks to come.
