July 12 — Unearth is revisiting its latest album with a new EP.
The band released its new EP, Bask in the Blood of Our Demons Friday. The record features two previously unreleased songs from the recording sessions for its latest album, The Wretched, The Ruinous. That album dropped in May 2023 through Century Media. It has produced four singles since its release: ‘Eradicator,‘ ‘Into The Abyss,‘ ‘Mother Betrayal,’ and its lead/title track.
The two new songs come in the form of ‘Warrior Souls,’ a new single, and ‘Sea of the Lost.’ Also featured in the new EP are live performances of the album’s lead single/title track and another song, ‘Dawn of the Militant,’ both of which held in Texas.in 2023 at a performance the band held in Texas.
The musical arrangement featured in ‘Warrior Souls’ is a hugely intense composition that blends elements of death metal and thrash that is everything Unearth fans have come to expect from the band.
Lyrically, the song follows the overarching theme of environmental awareness that spanned much of the band’s latest album. The band explained the song’s lyrical theme in a prepared statement:
“Lyrically it imagines a desolate time when future generations take vengeance on their living predecessors for not doing more to save our environment from becoming uninhabitable and our species being on the brink of extinction,” the statement reads in part. “The more unlivable our world becomes, the fewer political, religious and cultural divides will exist. There will be only two missions remaining for the human race; survival and retribution.”
