Waste Premeire New Music Video “Worthless” - Sign With Seek And Strike

Waste has secured a label deal with Seek And Strike. The deathcore band is set to release their new EP, "In Bloom," through the label on May 10th. The album was recorded under the guidance of Bodysnatcher drummer Chris Whited. Additionally, a video for the song "Worthless" from the EP has just been released online.

The band issued the following collective statement:

“We are very hyped to be working with Seek & Strike. It’s just crazy to us that people enjoy what we are doing enough to want to work with us on a professional level. Ever since we started our aim has always been high and getting to work with the likes of a team such as Seek & Strike is such a privilege for us.

We chose to work with them because we truly feel they are as excited as we are about what our future holds. They’ve already shown us that their goal is to grow the band globally, not just throw us money and have us fend for ourselves.

With these new songs, we wanted to tell a story that shined light on our collective lives and experiences. We touch on things like mental health and general hardships, but we also address certain topics that we take issue with. It’s no question that the world has gone through some truly crazy, even traumatizing events over the past few years and this EP tells a story of our perspective during this time.

Our new track, ‘Worthless,’ is the first single to be released from this collection of new songs. We actually chose this to take the lead as the first single because we feel it’s really the culmination of what all of these new songs bring to the table. The music video, while simple, represents the chaos and frenetic energy that the song puts out.

Something that every member of this band feels strongly about is that we don’t want to try to sound like a carbon copy of any other band in our genre. We simply bring many different elements of metal that we all enjoy and create a sound that utilizes a little bit of everything, but again our aim is not to take directly from a certified band.

We’ll always be trying new things and with that comes something that all our listeners can find enjoyment in. We don’t stick to one specific genre, or style of metal. Each song is an attempt to deliver a new experience.

There are plenty of things about this new collection of music that we are proud of, but there are most definitely a few that really showcase aspects about all these tracks. The first one being the vocal performance of this record. Jeremy came at each one of these songs with a vengeance and delivered an absolutely incredible display showcasing the range of his vocal abilities. Every single member will say the first thing that stands out are the vocals. Instrumentally, we also pushed ourselves above and beyond to create something truly dynamic, overly aggressive and unique.

However, arguably and most importantly, is the production side. We, once again, worked with our good friend, Chris Whited of 1776 Recordings/Bodysnatcher drummer, for this recording. Chris has always been consistent and an absolute pleasure to work with, but this time around we can tell he took a certain different angle with this record, which resulted in the best sounding mix he’s ever done.

Every detail was given the time it required to make it sound the way it needed. From the drum mix to the tones, vocals and the extra production side of things, everything that was done was done with purpose. We’re stoked for you all to hear it and thanks for the support.”
