deathcrash Release New Single ‘Doomcrash’

    deathcrash have released ‘Doomcrash’, the final preview of their forthcoming debut LP Return. The track follows previous singles ‘Horses’ and ‘Unwind’. Listen to it below.

    Talking about the new song, bassist Patrick Fitzgerald said in a statement:

    This all started with a really over-the-top doom riff I would play on the bass in rehearsal sometimes, with an absurd amount of distortion. We all loved it but whenever we tried to take it anywhere it lost its magic. Tiernan, as he often does, got very obsessed with the ‘idea’ of this doom riff, and became determined to make it into something. None of us liked what Tiernan was doing and it got to the point where I refused to even play the riff. I don’t know how it actually unfolded but i remember when we were in this awful rehearsal room filled with soft rock memorabilia, me and Tiernan were sitting on the sofa and he showed me a new riff he’d made, based around the chords from the dreaded doom riff. I was back on board. Immediately I started writing the most post-rock bass riff I could think of, unplugged, there on the sofa. We recorded it on a phone. That’s why I love deathcrash, because one of us can always see something that the others can’t, and then it clicks.

    Return is due out January 28 via untitled (recs).
