Blackened Deathcore band Ov Sulfur have revealed a new standalone single, “Seed”, via Century Media Records. “Seed” marks a rebirth for the quintet, whose growth to a more melodic side of the genre has risen in popularity alongside likes of Lorna Shore, Shadow of Intent and Mental Cruelty.
Vocalist Ricky Hoover explains:
‘Seed’ is about the constant doubt I feel in every facet of life and how I feel we all share that together. Imagine how it would eat away at you if so-called ‘eternal life’ were real? Sounds like torture to me: more hell than heaven.
Guitarist/vocalist Chase Wilson adds:
This was the first song we started writing for what may or may not be a new album. I think we’ve improved our songwriting in leaps and bounds once again, which we already did from the EP to ‘The Burden Ov Faith’, and the reaction to this song live on our tour with Nekrogoblikon backs that up.
‘Seed’ has one of our best choruses yet, and we use it around melodeath riffs and brutal deathcore breakdowns. Actually, we even put it on top of the song-ending breakdown, where it fits perfectly—after already playing it standard and even blasting through it to give it another flavor. This song has every flavor of Ov Sulfur and then some!
Currently on the road with Nekrogoblikon and Revocation, be sure to catch Ov Sulfur on tour this Summer/Fall across North America.
