THE DIALECTIC have announced a new EP!

Titled Crawl To The Throne, the upcoming EP for the Texas-based deathcore band is the follow-up to 2021’s A Falsehood Defined EP, and is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Seek & Strike.

Speaking about the upcoming EP, vocalist Mitch Howie says, “the writing process for this EP started out almost immediately after the official release of our last EP, A Falsehood Defined. We strived to put more emphasis on crafting faster, more aggressive sounds that we leaned into on the last EP, but with a more raw feeling in the lyrics. We shifted our lyrical content towards subjects that really matter to us (military, government, deep state corruption) and began to make sure the whole EP really followed those subjects. The other songs quickly followed suit and the ideas really fell into place once the title track. Crawl To The Throne, was written, and the lyrics had a certain emotional feel.

We have soldiers go to war and destroy their bodies for the government’s financial gain. Only to crawl back home to be handed a piece of metal, just to be quickly tossed aside so that the new generations can follow suit. This EP is about the cost and reward (or lack there of) of going to war to fight for a government that doesn’t even know your name.”

Alongside the announcement of the new EP, THE DIALECTIC have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming EP; Murder Machine. Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, Howie says, “our new track, Murder Machine, just has a certain level of power to it. It was the first song we wrote for this EP and I remember us all envisioning performing it live. We just inherently knew how insane it would be to open up our shows with this. That’s why we chose to do a performance based music video for it. Some may think it looks a little overwhelming and that’s exactly the point. That’s what we aim for. We want you to see us play and within 15 seconds of our first song say ‘WOW, that is HEAVY!’. When we wrote Murder Machine, the EP’s concept immediately started to dive into the pursuit of opening eyes to governmental corruption and politicians spilling innocent blood for corruption, without getting their hands dirty themselves. Every song follows this theme.”
