British kings of death metal INGESTED have released new single ‘Another Breath’ featuring Crowbar and Down legend Kirk Windstein, along with a stunning animated music video. This is the fourth single taken from new album Where Only Gods May Tread, out 14th August via Unique Leader.

Watch ‘Another Breath’ here:

INGESTED toured the UK with Crowbar in 2018 and both bands hit it off instantly, which led to this collaboration.

Guitarist Sam Yates explains: “In 2018 we opened a fantastic tour in the UK with Crowbar and they were all such down to earth great dudes. Super tight, crazy heavy and had the best stories! Kirk and his wife Robin were so genuine and cool and all of Crowbar would hang with us and shoot the shit most nights. I was on public transport in the piss down rain writing lyrics for Where Only Gods May Tread and I wanted the opening of what became ‘Another Breath’ to be this epic, heavy, sad song by someone who could actually sing. My first instinct, my first choice for this song was Kirk. It was that “I wonder if…” moment.”

As the deadline for the album hand-in loomed, Sam finally reached out to Crowbar  bassist Shane Wesley who set the whole thing up.

Sam continues: “Shane took time out of recording with Crowbar to engineer the guest spot himself, and Kirk brought the all-time goods. It was exactly what I had in my mind and he smashed it in record time like an absolute professional. It’s my favourite song from the record; Kirk is truly one of the most slept on metal greats and he was and always will be “The Man”.

On the video, Sam comments “The director for this video was Shayne Minott at Budget Blood Productions. Seeing his style the idea was to do this all out 90s throwback, dark claymation video. Just like the ones that used to play on music TV when we were teenagers. The story was the ideas and themes of the song itself: defeat, self-loathing, the human condition, shame and control. I wrote the basic outline of the plot and we sent him a lot of content and he came up with what we wanted. Great to work with and considering his medium he absolutely worked his ass off and knocked it out the park.”

‘Another Breath’  follows the singles ‘Dead Seraphic Forms’ , ‘Impending Dominance’  and ‘No Half Measures’.

Ready to rise from the underground to the wider metal sphere, INGESTED‘s new album Where Only Gods May Tread is 10 tracks by a band about to prove they have what it takes to compete at the top of the game.

With more touring miles under their belts than most, INGESTED have honed their craft playing alongside the likes of Crowbar, The Black Dahlia Murder, Cannibal Corpse and many more. Now five albums in, their refined songwriting skills, technical precision and all-round ability to decimate come together to create one of the finest heavy albums of 2020.

Dominic Grimard (Ion Dissonance, The Last Felony) handled bass duties on the album and there are special guest appearances from Kirk Windstein (Crowbar, Down), Vincent Bennett (The Acacia Strain) and Matt Honeycutt (Kublai Khan).

The album was mixed and mastered by long time producer of INGESTED and Cryptopsy guitarist Christian Donaldson (Despised Icon, Beneath The Massacre, The Agonist), engineering was handled by both Nico Beninato and  Sam Yates at Foel Studios in Wales. The artwork was created by legendary artist Dan Seagrave (Morbid Angel, Suffocation, Hypocrisy, Entombed, Rivers Of Nihil, Gorguts, Decrepit Birth).
