Usual Suspect are reporting back, releasing their new single „Death Rites“ – a raw, dark, and uncompromising track that confirms this band is not playing for effect, but out of conviction. The sound is exactly what you want from them: a concrete rhythm, razor-sharp guitars, and a vocal that sounds like it’s coming directly from a smoke-filled club.

It’s street reality without the gilding. Lyrically, „Death Rites“ revolves around the rituals of ending – not necessarily physical death, but those small, everyday funerals you go through when trying to survive. Everything is falling apart, but you are still standing. And that is the ritual – surviving another day. The song acts as both a confession and an anthem at the same time. No hope, but still strength. It reminds you that even when everything around you is rotting, it still makes sense to hold on, to scream, and to kick back. „Death Rites“ is a taste of the upcoming album, Here To Stay, which will be released in November via Nothing Less Records.
