The guitars build ominously. The drums roll. The song kicks in. It’s time to see what side of the grave you’re on with the new song from Spain’s Undead. “This Side of the Grave” comes from the band’s upcoming EP of the same name, following up 2023’s Putrefactio. The band’s sounds blends the grinding sound of classic Dutch death metal like Asphyx with echoes of early Morbid Angel and Swedish black metal thrown in to keep things extra interesting. Decibel is, of course, happy to oblige this brand of extremity and is thus proud to premiere the song and it’s accompanying video below.
According to the band:
“There are only two places where you can be, one side of the grave or the other, but are you sure on which side you are?
We often think of death as a boundary, a clean, sharp line dividing one realm from another. Life on this side, death on the other. But perhaps the line is not as fixed as we imagine. Maybe it is not even a line at all. Maybe we’re living in a constant cycle of repetition, or maybe we are all already dead, and this is Hell … ”
This Side of the Grave comes out on September 19 via Edged Circle Productions.
