Starkill have shared an official video for their new single “Death On Display.” That track will appear on the group's new album, “Hanging Up My Halo,” which will be out on January 22. Frontman Parker Jameson said the following:
“We actually pulled a Dethklok where we wrote an entire record, trashed it, and started over. It was one of those moments where we sat down, put our heads in our hands, and ultimately decided it wasn’t the right direction. With this new cycle, we wanted to take everything people expect from Starkill – the blisteringly fast dual-guitar work, symphonic arrangements, and impactful choruses – and strip away any clutter to hit harder than ever. October 9th is just the first taste setting the stage for January 22nd.”
Drummer Spencer Weidner added:
“There’s been a gap in the melodic death metal scene for years, and we’re back to plant our flag in it. We’ve been sitting on some of this material for the better part of a decade, writing and rewriting until every track can stand on its own. To that end, ‘Death On Display’ is absolutely brutal—I wanted to write something melodic and thrashy, but with the symphonic flare you’d find in an ‘Elden Ring’ or ‘Legend of Zelda’ boss fight. I think it’s safe to say we’ve walked away with something metal fans will seriously appreciate.”
