Tacoma, Washington-based thrash/crossover crew DENIAL OF LIFE presents an official video for “Circle The Drain,” the primary single preceding the band’s incoming Witness The Power EP, set to impact the population via Creator-Destructor Records in early November.
DENIAL OF LIFE is a metallic hardcore auditory assault forged in the Pacific Northwest. Channeling the speed and venom of Slayer, the primal fury of Sepultura, and the death-soaked grime of Entombed, they deliver a sound that is merciless, unrelenting, and steeped in darkness. With Brenna Gowin’s searing vocals riding the razor-sharp guitar work of Logan Miller and Dante Zickler, the crushing bass of Brian Bernard, and the pulverizing drums of Nick Cody, the band wages war on false hope and hollow promises.
DENIAL OF LIFE’s Witness The Power is a grim testament to rage and ruin — and the beginning of relentless touring that will spread their chaos far and wide. DENIAL OF LIFE is not here to save you. They are here to burn it all down. Having only formed in 2019, the band has been making waves all over the world, bringing their unique style of crossover to headbangers and hardcore fans alike. Following several singles, promos, and the 2022 release of their debut LP, No Reason, extensive US touring and a four-week European headlining tour, the band now sets their sights on world domination
Witness The Power was engineered by Jason Brooks, mixed by Taylor Young at The Pit Recording Studio (Nails, Kruelty, God’s Hate), mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Obituary, Internal Bleeding, Creeping Death), and completed with artwork by Stein Hansen.
The intense video for “Circle The Drain” was directed and edited by Chris Klumpp. With it the band states, “The ‘Circle The Drain’ video was shot in Tacoma, Washington, around places we’ve been our whole lives. It captures the energy of the city we’re from and the music we make.”
