Metal Blade’s INTO THE MOAT have posted a brand new song called “”Dead Before I Stray”" from their upcoming album, The Design. I highly recommend checking out this song if you dig tech metal with jazzy-breakdowns (yes, CANDIRIA did this stuff a long, long time ago, it still rules). The recording quality is gigantic too, so your subwoofer will enjoy the workout.
