The Last Ten Seconds of Life drops ‘Rat Trap’ video

Pennsylvania metal outfit THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE unleashed their video for “Rat Trap.” The track, which features a guest appearance by Nate Johnson (ex-Fit For An Autopsy) comes by way of the band’s new full-length, The Dead Ones, out since last Friday on Metal Blade Records!

Watch the band’s previously released video for the record’s title track HERE and “Make It To Heaven” HERE.

Intense and intensely personal, The Dead Ones marks THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE‘s Metal Blade Records debut. For the ten original tracks of pulverizing deathcore produced by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland of Pennsylvania’s Atrium Audio, the band focused on the guitar, bass, and drum tones as well as the mix/master to achieve what guitarist Wyatt McLaughlin calls, “a super-thick sonic output and ‘rolling-tank’-like feel.”

In addition to Johnson on “Rat Trap,” the record includes guest appearances by David Simonich of Signs Of The Swarm on “Make It To Heaven,” Alan Grnja of Distant on “Dollar To A Dime“, and original THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE vocalist Storm Strope on “XXXXXXXXXX.”

Hails Metal Noise of the release, “Darker than the depths of hell when the fires no longer burn, this album represents arguably the most ferocious THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE have offered in recent times.” New Transcendence writes, “The Dead Ones stands as an immense and strong entry to their robust discography, carrying on and focusing the strongest elements of their early and recent work while continuing to push their sound and dynamic in new and unexpected ways. Fans of the band will find exactly what they want out of them, and those new to the band – or those who had been estranged throughout the late 2010s and early 2020s – will find something welcoming (and even familiar) to find themselves lost in,” while Black Angel Promotions accurately notes, “The album is heavy at the beginning, heavy in the middle, and heavy in the end. It’s ten songs of constant brutality in the best way…each song stands on its own.“

Says McLaughlin,

“As a unit, we built a game plan on how we would approach songwriting for this record. We examined all of THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE’s past work as well as focused on how our fanbase digested and connected with our music from the flow of structure all the way to every single word that was used. We have delivered a ten song thriller that will bellow out through the ages.”

The Dead Ones was recorded with a six-string baritone Viper from ESP-LTD tuned to Drop F, the same tuning used on the band’s 2012 Warpath EP. To elevate the intensity, the band also used an Earthquaker Devices Sunn O))) and Keeley Octa Psi drop tune pedal on certain sections.
