War metal bastards TRENCH WARFARE have launched a stream of "Follow the Circling Vultures," the second single off their venomous new album, Achtung! Destroy The Weak.




The exclusive premiere of "Follow the Circling Vultures" comes via Metal Underground. Stream the song here.




Vocalist Jay Gorania goes in-depth about the lyrical concepts behind the song.




"'Follow The Circling Vultures' is about a soldier or warrior who is out


in the wild, hunting for a wounded enemy combatant. Our bloodthirsty


protagonist is hunting his prey in order to finish him off. He is sleep


deprived but determined, driven passionately by his love of his family,


his people, his nation. The hatred for enemy is profound as it’s linked


to the soldier’s defensive posture and need to protect his beloved


family."




Gorania continues by recalling the moment inspiration struck.




"The concept came to mind while I was on vacation in Nevada. I


could see massive vultures flying across the Mojave Desert sky,


above the fiery glow of the red rock formations in the Valley of Fire. The vultures began to circle before descending. Surely they


were there to finish something off, or at least to feast. I pictured


myself in final pursuit, keeping with this storyline. Following the


vultures who sniffed him out would lead me to him. The lyrics flow in


a stream of consciousness manner. I was thinking about how my


family was fighting for my father's life by helping him in his ailing


state during that time period. In real life I’d frequently tell him to lock


eyes with me and hold the gaze between us. Those thoughts led to my


appreciation for my lady's sunflower eyes. They literally look like


sunflowers. So my love for those two, for family, was the driving


factor behind my pursuit of the enemy, to destroy someone who is a


threat to them."


The eight tracks comprising Achtung! Destroy The Weak highlight a much heavier and aggressive sound informed by classic death metal titans like MORBID ANGEL and DISMEMBER, while their appreciation for bands as varied as DEIPHAGO, DIOCLETIAN, GENOCIDE SHRINES, TETRAGRAMMACIDE, WARGRINDER, RITUAL GENOCIDE, OBEISANCE and SATANIK GOAT RITUAL continues to shine.


Achtung! Destroy The Weak is due out August ​28 on Conjuring Records.
