Ov Sulfur Premiere New Single & Music Video "Evermore" From Upcoming New Album "Endless"

Ov Sulfur have announced that their sophomore album, “Endless”, will arrive on January 16th via Century Media Records. The blackened deathcore outfit—fronted by former Suffokate vocalist Ricky Hoover—teamed once again with producer Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, King 810), who handled production, engineering, mixing, and mastering. A second single, “Evermore,” has just dropped, streaming via YouTube and Spotify for you now below.

Speaking on the new track, Hoover offered:

“When coming up with the theme for ‘Endless‘, which is basically endless suffering and the various ways that could rear its ugly head, we questioned what it would be like to have endless life. This kind of allows it to be a bridge to our earlier anti-organized-religion material, as eternal life is a major tenet of many religions.

In THEORY, living forever sounds incredible, but stop and think about what would come along with it: the death of your loved ones, the world around you gets worse (politically and physically), and no doubt eventual insanity from the eternally stacking heart break. ‘Evermore‘ encapsulates these thoughts, building as the character reaches the point of insanity. Fortunately, it mirrors the build of the song, too. We knew it had to be our album launch single.”

Adds guitarist/vocalist Chase Wilson:

“When I finished recording it, I kind of laughed at the whole thing. It was fun to write. We have a really fast melodic riff to start the thing off, go into a beefed-up chorus, and then top it all off with a slam-style breakdown to shake things up. It’s kind of all over the place in the best way possible, because as different as these parts are, they work together.”

This upcoming record also sees Hoover pushing further into melodic territory, particularly on the tracks “Wither” and “Endless//Loveless.” Speaking on that stylistic shift, Hoover offered:

“I was originally only going to sing a soft intro to ‘EarthenChase and our vocal producer [for that album] Morgoth heard it, we reworked a bunch of stuff for me to sing more. That’s pushed further here. Chase even taught me to do falsetto in-studio (he actually took a video on his phone where I looked genuinely shocked I hit the notes because it was so new to me).”

Adds Wilson:

“There is a lot of vocal interplay between the two of us, hinted at on The Burden Ov Faith‘s ‘The Inglorious Archetype,’ inspired by Alice In Chains‘ Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell. You can hear that on ‘Evermore,’ and we practically split ‘Wither‘ down the middle; the song is about us both losing grandparents, so it’s super personal.”

There’s no shortage of guest appearances lined up for the album, as Josh Davies of Ingested, Johnny Ciardullo of AngelMaker/Carcosa and Alan Grnja of Distant are all featured on the record.
