American Anymen sign to Eclipse Records, release new single "Fentanyl Death Kiss"
NYC industrial metal band American Anymen have joined Eclipse Records.
Revealed yesterday, the band will release their 12th studio album Cities Changing Names on June 10 via the record label. The first single from the album titled "Fentanyl Death Kiss" can be heard below. Vocalist/founder Brett Sullivan said this about the song’s background:
"Fentanyl Death Kiss is about being a drug addict. I wrote it because on a few occasions I have been tasked with checking up on people who were not answering their phones or they went MIA for a few days. As you might expect, friends and family became worried and thought they were dead. I had a fearful image in my mind of the drug addict thinking their dead body was a gift to the person who discovers them, like some sick Christmas present. I think singing about addiction is still relevant. In the past, being a heroin addict was like playing a game of Russian Roulette, especially with the amount of Fentanyl now on the street it is literally a death sentence. This song doesn’t say don’t use drugs, it just says if you do… you’ll be dead in two weeks."
Pre-orders for Cities Changing Names can be made here. The 11-track album is the follow-up to the band’s 2020 studio album Plaza Suite.
