Today, HM is proud to premiere Impending Doom’s latest lyric video for “New World Horror” off their Hellbent EP. The band surprised fans with the early release late last month, featuring five fierce songs of bludgeoning Impending Doom brutality.
The EP showcases the enduring trio who formed the creative core of the band in Riverside, California. As reliably as ever, Impending Doom warns of society’s inevitable destructive collapse through crushing heaviness, punishing death and grindcore riffing, impossibly guttural growls, and a steadfast reverence for Christ.
We spoke with bassist David Sittig about “New World Horror” specifically:
“‘New World Horror’ is about a spiritual awakening to a sleeping generation and the dangers we face if we decide to passively and ignorantly give up our freedoms to those who seek tyranny.”
Recorded with engineer Joseph Calleiro at Dungeon by the Sea in Los Angeles and mixed by longtime band collaborator Will Putney (Knocked Loose, The Ghost Inside, Thy Art Is Murder), Hellbent also comes adorned with the arresting cover art of Jim Pavelec, an illustrator specializing in the occult, sci-fi, horror, and fantasy, including pieces for classic RPG Dungeons & Dragons.
If you like what you hear, stream Hellbent now or buy it on the band’s website. You can also catch Impending Doom’s return to the stage at one of the tour dates below.
