Poison The Preacher announce new EP ‘Things I Want’
POISON THE PREACHER have announced a brand new EP!
The Colombian crossover heavyweights have revealed their upcoming EP, Things I Want, which is set for release on July 17th via Seek And Strike. The record follows their 2025 debut album Vs The World and continues the band’s ferocious blend of thrash, hardcore, and death metal.
Speaking about the new upcoming EP, vocalist/guitarist Juan Pablo Carrera shares, “we started working on these songs as soon as we finished writing our debut album, Vs The World, and these songs just came naturally to us. This new EP is easily the next step for us, a real evolution towards a more definitive and unique sound. It’s more refined, aggressive, harder and heavier. We are pulling inspiration from all over the place and this is a more accurate representation of all our influences.”
Alongside the announcement, the band have unveiled a brand new single, Chicken Out, accompanied by a music video. Speaking about the new single, Carrera comments, “I was so afraid of falling in love and felt that I wasn’t good enough for her. I was so afraid of being hurt that I didn’t want to get involved emotionally and ultimately that was the mistake that ruined everything. The song really speaks to this regret. I now want to convey the simple message to love as much as you can. It’s better to try than to live with the regret of not trying.”
