New England’s premier metal band DEAD BY WEDNESDAY released their brand new animated stop motion music video for their single “Mars in Exile.” The drummer’s 8-year-old son, Orion St. Lawrence, inspired the story & concept, and designed the building brick band characters. You can also see some of the footage he originally shot with real building brick figures projected on the screens during the guitar solo. The video was directed by Sal DelGreco, who also did all of the voice acting. The kick ass animation was done by Paul Stamper. The single is taken from their brand new album Capital Conspiracy, that released June 24th, 2022 on Mindsnap Music / Salt of the Earth Records. This new album from DBW is a total lesson in authentic musical aggression and was produced by Nicky Bellmore (drummer & producer of Dee Snider, Corpse Grinder, & Jasta). DBW’s album is available in stores as well as anywhere music is streamed or downloaded. Capital Conspiracy also hit # 1 on the nationally renown NACC Top 30 Loud – Hard Rock Radio Charts!

People all over are talking about the new DEAD BY WEDNESDAY album Capital Conspiracy. Check out what Gary Holt (guitarist for Exodus & Slayer), Eddie Trunk, & Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage has to say about Capital Conspiracy here:
“This album is a roller coaster ride of emotions. These emotions range from grief of a loved one or a passion, struggles with love and life, to current affairs in both the world and our country regarding both social and governmental affairs. To me, it was an opportunity to tell a story to the world and to share a perspective that many wouldn’t or couldn’t picture or relate to. This album is raw emotion in its purest form,” says Esteban Alvarez, the vocalist for the band.
Be on the lookout for a full feature, interview and album review coming out in the July issue of Outburn Magazine!
