Pennsylvania metal outfit THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE today unleashes their video for “Rat Trap.” The track, which features a guest appearance by Nate Johnson (ex-Fit For An Autopsy) comes by way of the band’s new full-length, “The Dead Ones”, out today on Metal Blade Records!

Intense and intensely personal, “The Dead Ones” marks THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE’s Metal Blade Records debut. For the ten original tracks of pulverizing deathcore produced by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland of Pennsylvania’s Atrium Audio, the band focused on the guitar, bass, and drum tones as well as the mix/master to achieve what guitarist Wyatt McLaughlin calls, “a super-thick sonic output and ‘rolling-tank’-like feel“.

In addition to Johnson on “Rat Trap,” the record includes guest appearances by David Simonich of Signs Of The Swarm on “Make It To Heaven,” Alan Grnja of Distant on “Dollar To A Dime”, and original THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE vocalist Storm Strope on “XXXXXXXXXX.”

Says McLaughlin,

“As a unit, we built a game plan on how we would approach songwriting for this record. We examined all of THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE’s past work as well as focused on how our fanbase digested and connected with our music from the flow of structure all the way to every single word that was used. We have delivered a ten song thriller that will bellow out through the ages.”

“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.
