January 26, 2022, 2 years ago
Ex-Meliah Rage guitarist Anthony Nichols and co-conspirators Jon Hardy (vocals, bass), Steve Fry (drums), and Dan Dykes (lead guitar) will release Burn Pit, a sumptuously menacing four-song EP on Friday, January 28, 2022.
Burn Pit is Mexican Ape-Lord’s third release on Unable Records, following the acclaimed albums The Late Heavy Bombardment and Survival Cannibalism. Audio-savant producer Peter Rutcho is once again at the controls.
The tried-and-true Mexican Ape-Lord themes are all represented here: apex predators, ritualistic bloodshed, dangerous work, and inner demons. Through it all, the boys hammer out non-stop riffs, diabolical drum work, and insanely catchy leads. “We operate like an expeditionary force,” says Hardy. “Every member is a specialist.”
Burn Pit’s release is accompanied by a lyric video for the song “Keep Hammering,” produced by Brandon Maxham. Check it out below:
Nichols, a prime mover of metal for over three decades, says, “We’re not about to stop making loud music just because the world is coming to an end.”
The band is currently working on its third full length album, Blunt Instrument, to be released in early 2023.
