Watch Florida deathcore band Bodysnatcher's video for new song "Wired For Destruction"

Florida deathcore flag-bearers Bodysnatcher‘s new album Bleed-Abide comes out April 22 via MNRK Heavy (pre-order), and we’re premiering its newest single, “Wired For Destruction,” along with the video for the song.

“For me, it represents the common fear of being forgotten after death,” guitarist Kyle Carter says. “It also touches on the fear of not having control and doubting every action you take. The name says it all really. Death, sickness, and most fears hold a lot of us back from living our life how we really want to, so we thought it was an important topic to talk about.”

Bodysnatcher have no reservations about being called a deathcore band (“deathcore kicks ass,” says vocalist Kyle Medina, “a lot of bands shy away from labels they don’t deem ‘cool’ enough, but we don’t give a fuck”), but if the word makes you shudder, Bodysnatcher’s version of deathcore might make you change your tune. They’re very in touch with the genre’s hardcore roots, and ragers like “Wired For Destruction” fit nicely next to plenty of today’s hardcore and death metal bands. You don’t need to be nostalgic for the Myspace era to get into this; it rips and feels refreshing for heavy music in general. Check out the video below.

Bodysnatcher are also gearing up to open Dying Fetustour, which also features Chelsea Grin, Frozen Soul, and Undeath. That stacked lineup hits NYC on June 3 at Gramercy Theatre. All dates are listed below.
