DEAD ANIMAL ASSEMBLY PLANT Roll Out New Single "Hearse"
Portland-based industrial outfit DEAD ANIMAL ASSEMBLY PLANT return with their new single "Hearse", a cheeky, high-energy bone shaker inspired by classic gallows humor and driven by relentless industrial force, available via Armalyte Industries.
The track takes its cue from the haunting childhood rhyme, “Don’t ever laugh as the hearse goes by for you may be the next to die.” Embracing the dark humor of the line, DEAD ANIMAL ASSEMBLY PLANT transforms it into a frantic, stomp-along anthem that barrels forward with manic intensity and morbid fun.
“Hearse” features guest drums by Martin Atkins, a founding figure of the Chicago post-punk and industrial movement. Best known for his work with PUBLIC IMAGE LTD., MINISTRY, and KILLING JOKE, Atkins helped define the sound and attitude of modern industrial music. He is also the founder of Invisible Records, a pivotal imprint responsible for releasing and championing numerous underground industrial and experimental artists. His signature frenetic style underscores the song’s urgency and chaos, pushing the track into overdrive.
Adding another layer of ferocity is Glen Clarke, currently of VEER UNION and UNGOTHLY PLACES, and formerly of 2 SHADOWS, whose screams and growls inject raw aggression into the mix. The song also features a chilling spoken sample from John Kassir (aka the Cryptkeeper), alongside Z. Wager, delivering the titular line with unmistakable menace.
Anchored by relentless guitars and bass, "Hearse" is a high-energy march through the graveyard and a reminder of life’s brutal simplicity. In the end, we’re all just meat on the slab. Live it up or die trying.
