The Last Ten Seconds of Life - Make it to Heaven (feat. Signs of the Swarm) (Official Video)

Buy here: http://www.metalblade.com/tltsol Intense and intensely personal, "The Dead Ones" marks The Last Ten Seconds of Life’s Metal Blade label debut. For the 10 original tracks of pulverizing deathcore produced by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland of Pennsylvania’s Atrium Audio, the band focused on “the guitar/bass/drum tones as well as the mix/master to achieve a super-thick sonic output and ‘rolling-tank’-like feel,” guitarist Wyatt McLaughlin explains.

"The Dead Ones" was recorded/mixed/mastered by Atrium Audio

With the singles “The Dead Ones,” “Make It to Heaven,” and “Rat Trap,” TLTSOL have once again “reasserted their position as innovators and leaders in the deathcore genre…crafting an experience that challenges and captivates their audience,” as Knotfest raved about the lineup.

Four stellar guests are featured on the album—"Make It to Heaven” has David Simonich of Signs of the Swarm; Nate Johnson, ex-Fit For an Autopsy, appears on “Rat Trap;” “Dollar to a Dime” has Alan Grnja of Distant; and “XXXXXXXXXX” features original TLTSOL vocalist Storm Strope.

In creating The Dead Ones, “everyone took what we learned from the past two releases and assembled what we thought would bring out the best of us from song structure, tonality of instruments, the mix/master, and the lyrical themes,” furthers McLaughlin. The end result reflects a more personal and human experience rather than the philosophical and fictional approach used on NNG.

The first single, “The Dead Ones,” is specifically about how the actions of humanity can take an individual’s actual innate humanity away. “Dealing with these emotions can make you want to reach out to people who bring you comfort or peace and be a vessel to speak to them again,” McLaughlin says. “It invokes the physical scene of a seance and connecting with those, but questions if good is only a temporary veil for evil and warns about what lines might be crossed looking into the void.”

"The Dead Ones" was recorded with a six-string baritone Viper from ESP-LTD tuned to Drop F, the same tuning used on the band's 2012 "Warpath" EP. To elevate the intensity, the band also used an Earthquaker Devices Sunn O))) and Keeley Octa Psi drop tune pedal on certain sections.

Lyrics: Sell me the answer I'll buy your ego trip The safety haunts me My sanity begins to slip The world begins to crumble Fall victim to these words

Hold on tight to all your gold just to rot in fucking dirt I'll never make it to heaven

Nobody saves you when you're in this deep I'm six feet in the ground you keep Lost in the hour eleven

I'm sorry momma I can hear you weep I'm hellbent for eternal sleep

Fold your hands and close your eyes Look up into the sky As the world around you burns Ask that motherfucker why Every day you pray But you are never heard And when you fucking die You will rot in fucking dirt

Now i sense the devil among us The evil quenching the bloodthirst Vampiric bloodlust Incarnated factions of disgust Lasting for all time Through the circles of hell with us Hate Pain They forever reign In this realm of torture You are no longer sane Descending into the underworld That you've created With no one but yourself to blame Now you feel the grace of the flame

Fold your hands Close your eyes And ask that motherfucker why Rot in dirt Now feel the grace of the flame I'll never make it to heaven

Nobody saves you when you're in this deep I'm six feet in the ground you keep lost in the hour eleven

I'm sorry momma I can hear you weep I'm hellbent for eternal sleep

I'll never make it to heaven
