Melodic death-metal juggernaut Starkill have unleashed the title track off their upcoming new album, Hanging Up My Halo, premiering via Revolver right here right now. The song is a fine showcase of the band’s mix of crushing brutality, epic symphonics and virtuosic shred, all topped by Sarah Lynn’s powerhouse guttural vocals. “Hanging Up My Halo” arrived today (November 13th) accompanied by a high-octane performance video — watch and listen above. “We knew pretty early on that this would be the center point for the album,” Starkill drummer Spencer Weidner tells Revolver. “It’s got all the melody and mayhem that we call home, and just the right amount of cinematic flourish.” Guitarist-vocalist Parker Jameson adds of the LP as a whole: “Lyrically and musically, the album is about recognizing and incorporating negativity and using it to construct something powerful.” Hanging Up My Halo is due out January 22nd, with Starkill scheduled to set sail on 2027’s 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise departing Miami shortly before, on January 14th.
