Texas death thrashers I AM today unleash a video for Surrender To The Blade which comes off the band’s Eternal Steel full-length, set to drop September 9 via MNRK Heavy.
Across three full-length slabs of bludgeoning intensity and snarling rage, I AM puts a Southern stamp and revitalized swagger into deathcore, a subgenre rarely as raw, energized, and diverse as this band. In the spirit of fellow Southern icons Pantera and newer Texan heroes Power Trip, the band channels discontent and anger into empowering anthems, as likely to inspire a gruelling workout as to incite the pit.
Reminiscent of the combination of death metal heaviness and thrash metal speed found in the early catalogue of Sepultura, I AM mines the heaviness of Morbid Angel and the dexterity of the Big 4 to create something ground-breaking of their own.
