Till The Dirt Unveils "Privilege" Lyric Video
Extreme-progressive metal band Till The Dirt have released their debut album, "Outside The Spiral," today with Nuclear Blast Records.
Spearheaded by influential metal legend Kelly Shaefer (Atheist), the newly formed group has defied the confines of death metal with a massively heavy sound influenced by the juxtaposing styles of grunge, black metal, jazz, rock, dark wave and even classic pop. Shaefer’s unique take on the music swayed legendary death metal producer Scott Burns (Death, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide) out of retirement to work on the record with mixing and mastering by Ryan Vincent at Apollo Alternative. The result is an eclectic, progressive outlier record that takes listeners on an insane journey outside the norms of traditional metal.
Today, the band has also debuted a lyric video for the song "Privilege," which features metal luminary Jeff Loomis (Arch Enemy, ex-Nevermore). Watch the lyric video below.
Commenting on "Privilege," Shaefer says:
"I couldn't be more excited to unleash the 3rd single from ‘Outside the Spiral.’ This track is probably the closest to the template of what I'm most proud of about this album. And lyrically, it is a bit of a tribute to the very ‘Privilege’ of just breathing each new day as it comes. I'm excited for the world to hear the complete album! It's at minimum a new frontier."

Till The Dirt Signs With Nuclear Blast Records
Massively influential death metal legend and Atheist vocalist Kelly Shaefer has returned with a new band, Till The Dirt, and joined forces with Nuclear Blast Records for the band’s debut record, "Outside The Spiral," due out August 25th.
Shaefer comments on the signing to Nuclear Blast:
"As an extreme metal artist, there is no better place to land than Nuclear Blast. A staff that is second to none, and as a label I feel they share the same passion I have for metal music. So it's a true honor to release this record to the world on the best metal label on the planet!"
With his new project, Shaefer steers away from mining his own extensive well of death metal, exploring beyond the genre’s traditional confines and incorporating an extreme fusion of grunge, black metal, jazz, rock, dark wave, a dash of classic pop and other styles. The new record also features a slew of guest musicians each contributing their own skills to Shaefer’s overall vision.
Shaefer says of the new record:
“My writing went into overdrive during lockdown, and I was writing and recording a new song almost daily as well as playing on the demos. I was inviting friends for solos and guest spots, one being Jeff Loomis (Arch Enemy/Nevermore) and also John Longstreth (Origin). Scott Burns really helped me pull it all in, because we had so many songs to work with and had to narrow to 11. It's one of the most prolific moments in my career and I'm proud to say there is zero filler on this record. I couldn't be more proud of it." More...
