Upon A Burning Body announce new album ‘Southern Hostility’

UPON A BURNING BODY have announced a new album!

Titled Southern Hostility, the upcoming album follows 2016’s Straight From The Barrio and is scheduled to be released in June this year.

Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist Ruben Alvarez says, “we simply felt it was time for a change. This new album is definitely a huge statement for us. It was time to reinvent ourselves and get back to our roots – pure heavy fucking metal! The energy of this album takes us back to our first two, but with much more maturity. We worked for two months with Christopher Mora (producer) and our younger brother, Thomas Alvarez (co-producer). They are both amazing songwriters and were able to help us create fresh and infectious ideas. The four of us worked together to create a fresh, raw and energetic sound. We took influences from some of the greatest metal bands of all-time (PANTERA, METALLICA, etc.), in order to fill a void that many people are craving and need. Once we finished tracking and putting the final touches we realized we created an album that would change everything for us. This is what everyone has been waiting for: no gimmicks and just straight in your face metal!”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first single taken from the upcoming album; titled King of Diamonds. The track’s accompanying music video was directed by Scott Hansen (MOTIONLESS IN WHITE, SEVENDUST).
