As UK/US technical/futuristic metal duo WESTON SUPER MAIM prepares for the March release of their destructive, earworm-ridden debut LP, See You Tomorrow Baby, another new video has been issued. Metal Injection is hosting the exclusive premiere of “Autistic Kill Trance,” which features guest vocals from two members of Blindfolded And Led To The Woods.
Emerging in the mid-2000s as a solo project from UK multi-instrumentalist Tom Stevens (All Of Space, Brown Stratos), WESTON SUPER MAIM fully sparked to life in 2020 when US-based vocalist Seth Detrick of Los Angeles thrash outfit PDP joined. Picking up where acclaimed 2021 EP 180-Degree Murder left off, See You Tomorrow Baby sees the band in full command of its singular brain-destroying sound. Drawing inspiration from the abstracted time signatures of Meshuggah, the groove and dissonance of Will Haven, and the god-tier riffs of Crowbar – not to mention the boundary-pushing musicianship of bands like Car Bomb and Humanity’s Last Breath – WESTON SUPER MAIM’s See You Tomorrow Baby is an expansive work of cutting-edge extremity.
With vocal recording handled by Seth Detrick and Tom Stevens, See You Tomorrow Baby was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Stevens, with additional recording/guest spots by Stace Fifield and Stuart Henley-Minchington (Blindfolded and Led To The Woods) who provide vocals to “Autistic Kill Trance,” Chad Kapper (Frontierer) who adds vocals to “Perfect Meadows In Every Direction,” and Ian Waye (Soreption) who provides an intense guitar solo to “The Bare Maximum.” Binding it all together again is the work of UK collage artist JoyPolloi, whose asteroid-esque creation ties the front and back covers together, invoking interplay between ideas of hope and hopelessness – representing the final piece of the WESTON SUPER MAIM jigsaw.
With the “Autistic Kill Trance” single, Detrick reveals, “We were trying to capture the state of anger and psychosis that is felt after losing a very close loved one. It can be quite intense and last for years. We decided to bring in some guests on this track that could project that intensity and we instantly knew who we needed. Stu and Stace of Blindfolded And Led To The Woods showed up in an extremely hateful and terrifying fashion and we couldn’t be more ecstatic about how it turned out.”
Stevens adds, “For me, Stace is one of the best vocalists in metal right now. He has this totally unique tonality, just pure aggression – and he absolutely dropped the hammer on this track. Stu is not only a ridiculous guitarist and elite-level drummer; it turns out he’s a filthy death metal vocalist (and Mongolian throat singer) too. Off-the-scale talent. We’re beyond honored to have these legends on the track.”
Metal Injection calls “Autistic Kill Trance” an “absolute nightmare of a new track…”
