EYES OF PERDITION: vocalist Lindsay O. faces demons on Las Vegas death metallers' debut EP, Incendiary Truths; new track streaming
From Las Vegas, Nevada, Eyes of Perdition announces the August 13th release of debut EP Incendiary Truths.
Pre-order the EP and stream the first single,"When Deeply Ingrained Traumas Spill Forth Like Maggots in Carrion," here: https://eyesofperdition.bandcamp.com/
Fronted by vocalist Lindsay O., Eyes of Perdition churns out a desert-baked brand of heaviness, drawing from the slam side of death metal and the beatdown side of hardcore. With O.'s menacing vocals leading the way, Neanderthal riffs lumber forward — tar-thick and fueled by growling bass and double-kick hailstorms. Bands like Analepsy, Abominable Putridity, and Despised Icon are name-checked as influences, but Eyes of Perdition brings a certain vibe to the table, exclusive to its sun-scorched home base of Vegas.

"Las Vegas is a strange terrain," says O. "Outside the glitz of the strip, it's a rough town. Lots of drugs and broken dreams. The local music scene is gritty and honest, without the pomp and circumstance of say, LA. The positive is that we get to do whatever we want. We're authentic; we're ourselves. The music we make is coming from a place of passion."
On Incendiary Truths, O. displays that passion through a range of voices, from guttural lows to a drill sergeant's bark, to an all-out roar. Her ability to shapeshift so convincingly brings to mind Ben Falgoust in his role as Soilent Green's Hydra-like ringleader.
Lyrically, O. goes deep into her own personal traumas and comes out the other side bearing a message of positivity. She states: "Triumph over the self is a big part of my experience — learning to embrace inner darkness and transform it into something that empowers and informs your life. I've overcome some really heavy experiences by facing my demons and learning to listen to them. And it's through those experiences that I've come to accept myself. We can't grow or be our best selves unless we're willing to sit with ourselves in every storm, in every horrible experience and just feel our way through it. Then, nothing can shake your core, because you're the eye of the storm. That's true power."
Incendiary Truths was recorded, mixed and mastered by Julian Iturrieta. The cover art was created by Pzychopart.
Beyond Eyes of Perdition, O. is a multi-faceted artist whose heroes include Henry Rollins, Mike Patton, and Karyn Crisis, and whose musical outlets run the gamut from metal bands to Natalia, a solo project mixing electronic and rock elements.
