The six original tracks from the EP will also be featured on the deluxe edition of their latest album Director’s Cuts, which will release on September 15th.
Along with the news the band released the video below for their new single “Shock Tactics [1000v]” with the band offering the following:
“‘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.”
The uncensored version of the video is available at tothegraveau.com.
