BASTARD CROSS Unveil New Single "Behead the Priest"

Devasting and brutal, "Behead The Priest" is the latest blood-soaked single to land from blackened metalpunk act BASTARD CRÖSS. Their forthcoming album, Crossripper, explores a shadowy array of themes from horror movies to violence in religious histories. "Behead The Priest" delves into the latter through an eerie and disquiet assault driven by intense riffs and unforgiving screams.

The band comments on "Behead The Priest":

"The conclusion of our album, 'Behead the Priest' is an anti-Christian hymn where we channel our aggression and animosity towards the violent zealots of the past, present and future. Taking our inspirations from punk and thrash into a dark black metal atmosphere, the song romanticizes blasphemy until it reaches the climax: a somber and solemn acoustic melody, allowing the listeners to feel a sense of a dark reflection, upon oneself, religion, etc. An outro that is written to introduce what comes next in the realm of BASTARD CRÖSS."

This Halloween, BASTARD CRÖSS will unveil the auditory blasphemy that is their forthcoming album, Crossripper via Morbid and Miserable. The debut full-length has been heavily inspired by horror movies, and historic violence, while musical influences from death, thrash and even a touch of 80s glam metal, manifest through the encroaching gloom.
