EYES OF PERDITION - "Dealing Death"


EYES OF PERDITION: Las Vegas slammers team with Matti Way on ghostly new "Dealing Death" video

Las Vegas, Nevada band Eyes of Perdition has revealed the official music video for its song, "Dealing Death." 

The horror-laced clip mixes footage of the foursome laying down its desert-baked hybrid of slamming death metal and brute hardcore, with scenes of a "ghost story" starring Eyes of Perdition frontwoman Lindsay O. 

The video was directed by Matti Way, known to many as the vocalist of such bands as Abominable Putridity, Disgorge, and Pathology, and as the president of Unique Leader Records.

Lindsay O. states: "When it came time for Eyes of Perdition to conceptualize a video for the single, I couldn't think of a better director to work with on this. Matti wanted to create an atmosphere of 'haunting' to accompany the song. The ghost in the film has been waiting hundreds of years for a train that will never come. It creates a tension and a sense of desperation that certainly underscores the intensity of the song."

The video was filmed at the historic Globe Train Depot in Globe, Arizona, which O. describes as "certifiably haunted – I could feel the specters of years past as we filmed!"

"Dealing Death" appears on Eyes of Perdition's latest EP, Incendiary Truths, self-released in August 2021. O. offers this glimpse at the story behind the song: "'Dealing Death' is about someone relentlessly pursuing revenge, with unbridled resolve, to the point of self destruction. There's a bit of desperation in the song too – being extremely exhausted, yet compelled to continue to slay and maim, existing solely on one's own fumes and fury."

A multi-faceted artist whose biggest heroes include Henry Rollins and whose musical output runs the gamut from death metal to dark pop, O is one of the more compelling figures in the scene today; her soul-searching, existential lyrics punctuate and elevate Eyes of Perdition's Neanderthal grooves.

Revolver Magazine has hailed Eyes of Perdition's sound with these words: "An infernal brew of chuggy deathcore, monstrous death metal and the absolute heaviest elements of beatdown hardcore. Eyes of Perdition are easy to smash faces to but surprisingly hard to categorize." Decibel Magazine has honored the band with this assessment: "Their uncompromising hardcore/slam hybrid is as punishing and bone-dry as mid afternoon under the Mojave sun."

Eyes of Perdition plays Northwest Terror Fest in Seattle, WA on July 1st, alongside Repulsion, Ringworm, Xibalba, and more.

Out today: EYES OF PERDITION - Incendiary Truths


The debut EP by Eyes of Perdition, Incendiary Truths, is out today.

Stream the EP and buy it, here:
"An infernal brew of chuggy deathcore, monstrous death metal and the absolute heaviest elements of beatdown hardcore. By ignoring technicality to focus all of their energy on evil mosh parts and forceful grooves, Eyes of Perdition are easy to smash faces to but surprisingly hard to categorize."
–Revolver

"Their uncompromising hardcore/slam hybrid is as punishing and bone-dry as mid afternoon under the Mojave sun... The songs on Incendiary Truths sit squarely in the gloriously ignorant lineage of Internal Bleeding, with some of the desert-scorched vibes of Xibalba and Gatecreeper thrown in for good measure."
–Decibel

“Their mashup of hardcore and slam death metal feels like it’s channeling pure pain and suffering and rage... And then reading their vocalist Lindsay O’s inspiration helps me understand why—because she’s embraced her own shadows and become whole, the same journey I’m on.”
–CVLT Nation

"The foursome’s brand of hardcore, slam death metal and grindcore packs quite a hefty punch. Lindsay O.’s pipes are dangerously good."
–Outburn

"A ruinous, hammering, braying death metal barrage that will pound your skull into splinters but will also send your pulse racing with torrid flamethrower riffs and ravenous vocal ferocity from Lindsay O. Goddamned merciless, and goddamned thrilling too."
–No Clean Singing

"As much Hatebreed as it is death metal... They deftly balance fiery death and hardcore beatdowns."
–Last Rites

"Eyes of Perdition’s intense debut EP takes listeners on an adventure through the real Las Vegas... Vocalist Lindsay O. Pulls from her traumas and experiences to deliver a story of perseverance and determination that is likely to inspire everyone who hears it."
–Haulix Daily

"Razor sharp death metal with the attitude of the most incendiary hardcore on the planet... One of the most bludgeoning vocalists this side of Capra’s Crow Lotus."
–Nine Circles

"Eyes of Perdition are a bit different from the usual death metal or hardcore act, using their lyrics as a platform to create awareness about current issues and to promote self-improvement."
–Rebel Noise

"Inspired by bands like Despised Icon, there are some hardcore influences in their death metal approach... In a short 15 minutes or so, Eyes Of Perdition run the gamut of tempos and intensities... They are off to a promising start."
–Heavy Music HQ

EYES OF PERDITION: vocalist Lindsay O. and Las Vegas slam squad stream new EP "Incendiary Truths"

Stream the debut EP by Eyes of Perdition, Incendiary Truths, here:

Buy it, here:

The Las Vegas band churns out a desert-baked brand of Neanderthal grooves and white-hot aggression, led by the menacing vocals of Lindsay O.

While the music draws from the slam side of death metal and the beatdown side of hardcore, earning comparisons to Xibalba, Gatecreeper, and Internal Bleeding, O.'s lyrics are not the usual gore and vengeance fantasies. On Incendiary Truths, she 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."

CVLT Nation reports: “Their mashup of hardcore and slam death metal feels like it’s channeling pure pain and suffering and rage and will wrap its festering arms around mine. And then reading their vocalist Lindsay O’s inspiration helps me understand why—because she’s embraced her own shadows and become whole, the same journey I’m on.”

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. Stay tuned for updates.

EYES OF PERDITION - "When Deeply Ingrained Traumas Spill Forth Like Maggots in Carrion"


EYES OF PERDITION: Las Vegas crushers reveal new music video via Decibel Magazine; vocalist Lindsay O. gives exclusive interview

Las Vegas' Eyes of Perdition have revealed the music video for new track, "When Deeply Ingrained Traumas Spill Forth Like Maggots in Carrion."

The track appears on upcoming debut EP, Incendiary Truths, out August 13th.

Decibel Magazine's Brad Sanders, who premiered the video this week, states: "Their uncompromising hardcore/slam hybrid is as punishing and bone-dry as mid afternoon under the Mojave sun... The songs on Incendiary Truths sit squarely in the gloriously ignorant lineage of Internal Bleeding, with some of the desert-scorched vibes of Xibalba and Gatecreeper thrown in for good measure."

Fronted by 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.

"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."

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."

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.

EYES OF PERDITION - Incendiary Truths


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.
