Canadian technical death metal outfit Archspire have officially unveiled their fifth studio album, Too Fast To Die, along with its lead single, “Carrion Ladder.” The record, set for release on April 10th, marks the band’s first fully independent album, funded via a successful crowdfunding campaign that raised $396,326 CAD ($286,000 USD).
The new track and accompanying video serve as an introduction to the album’s rapid-fire technical onslaught. The video was co-directed by band members Dean Lamb and Oliver Rae Aleron. Vocalist Oliver Rae Aleron commented on the single:
“What’s that, Archspire is newly single??? OH Archspire‘s NEW single!! After 4 years of hard work, dedication, evading police, evidence tampering, espionage, supreme court rulings, RICO charges and AA meetings, we’re finally able to present to our few remaining fans a brand-new music video for our first single ‘Carrion Ladder’ off of our upcoming album Too Fast To Die. Please enjoy with the whole family this holiday season! (No moms were injured in the making of this film)”
Aleron also reflected on the album’s announcement:
“Santa Claus is coming… early… directly down the chimney with a fat sack full of pre-order bundles for our 5th and most insane album yet! After going through more drummers than toilet paper at a chili eating contest, we are finally able to announce the release of Too Fast To Die. This is the first record we’ve ever produced as a fully independent band. We want to send out a ton of big sloppy joe kisses to everyone who believed in us and supported our Independence Day Kickstarter campaign! It’s because of your tech support that this album can finally reach people’s ears. We hope you all love it as much as we do!”
