To The Grave have shared an official video for "Shock Tactics [1000v]” off their new EP "Offcuts." That effort will be receiving a digital release on September 15.. Fans can also get physical copies as part of new deluxe CD and vinyl editions of "Director’s Cuts."
To The Grave commented:
“‘Shock Tactics‘ is the first single from our new EP ‘Offcuts,’ a collection of songs scavenged off the cutting room floor of our ‘Director’s Cuts’ album. This release brings together the songs that we felt were out of place in the sequence of the album but that we still loved and we’re very pleased to be able to finally release them out into the world.
We’ll also be presenting the EP and the album together on vinyl and CD for the ‘Director’s Cuts: Deluxe Edition,’ showcasing the full scope of the material we originally created for the album.
We make no apologies for the graphic nature of the lyrics and accompanying video for this song. This was not staged or recreated, this is real footage of standard meat industry practices – the use of toxic gas to suffocate animals before cutting their throats. We have used footage from an Australian slaughterhouse because this violence is occurring in our backyard, but it is happening in yours too.”
