Scar the Martyr, Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison's new project, have premiered their new single Blood Host over at Metal Hammer.
Led by Jordison, Scar The Martyr are completed with lead vocalist Henry Derek, keyboardist Chris Vrenna of Nine Inch Nails and guitarists Jed Simon of Strapping Young Lad and Kris Norris from Darkest Hour (the live incarnation of the group features Derek, Simon, Norris, keyboardist Joey Blush, and bassist Kyle Konkiel).
Speaking about the new track, Jordisonsaid: “It’s very coincidental that Blood Host is our first track and video because it was the first song I wrote for this project when it was nothing but a mere idea at best. Songs, of course, followed, and molded into an overall feel, concept, and now a full-length album.
"Blood Host has it all: hypnotic riffs, soaring choruses, pummeling breakdowns, and the lyrics are infectious in every sense. We are very proud of the track and it pretty much lets you know where we are coming from, musically, and what we are all about live. Scar the Martyr, up close and personal.”
Head to metalhammer.co.uk to listen to the new track. Scar The Martyr are set to release their self-titled debut album on September 30 on Roadrunner Records.
