European Spring Tour Dates Announced

Danish death metal/metallic hardcore outfit LIFESICK is pleased to kick off the year with a new video for “Peace Through Superior Firepower.” The track comes by way of the band’s critically lauded Loved By None, Hated By All full-length, released last Fall on Metal Blade Records.
LIFESICK manifests brutal and brutally honest songs with lyrics inspired by the turbulent nature of life. Musically influenced by Swedish death metal, the band’s authentic and explosive mixture of crushing tones and modern breakdowns create an uncompromising sound and vision.
Comments the band on “Peace Through Superior Firepower,” “The idea of trying to spread peace around the world with bombs and guns is one of the most bizarre aspects of the human race. Some of us are raised with love, and a subtle hint of hate for others. This song features heavy and catchy guitar riffs, with plenty of sing-along vocal parts. The track includes layers of samples and pitched-down guitar, giving the breakdown a distinct feel compared to the rest of the songs on the album. ‘Only the dead see the end of war-a haunting anthem of vengeance.’“

LIFESICK was forged in Fredericia, Denmark in 2015. After three full-lengths of increasing weight and intensity, 2023′s Life And Other Lies EP brought the band’s sobering death/metallic hardcore to Metal Blade Records, where they have come of age with the kaleidoscopic fury and ironclad gloom of Loved By None, Hated By All.
As with previous offerings, the LP was recorded by Jacob Bredahl at his Dead Rat facility. This time Bredahl’s role expanded beyond engineering, helping to shape and revise new material before twiddling a single knob. “He came down to our rehearsal room where we played all the songs for him live, so he could add his touch to each song or edit stuff that we might have been a little blind to from playing the songs too much. This was the first time we did this, and it was very effective.”
Mixing was farmed out to Taylor Young at The Pit, “to give it a different touch or nuance from our previous releases,” while the tracks were handed to noise collective John Cxnnor, “to enhance the album with sound design and samples throughout every song, to better unify the album. We provided them with all the songs, along with keywords about the lyrical themes and the album artwork. With this information, they created unique dark industrial samples that perfectly fit the songs and our vision for the album.”
The results ring loud and clear from this tumultuous masterwork of bleak aggro beauty. Loved By None, Hated By All is unquestionably the band’s finest recording to date which is no easy feat considering the compulsive force of previous releases — there is some special spark of magic at work here.
“…obscenely pissed, in every possible way… LIFESICK employs a big, brash middle finger to an inhospitable world. Whether it’s the personal, political, or even the existential, no one is safe, and the production is suitably noisy and sounds like a live show, no matter the size of your speakers.” – New Noise
“…short, hearty… Fittingly produced by ex-Hatesphere shouter Jacob Bredahl in a very wide-screen, bassy style, the quintet stays true to its mix of Swedish death, D-beat hardcore and big-pants breakdowns.” – Rock Hard Germany
“Loved By None, Hated By All wallows in nihilism and misanthropy and is just as encouraging and life-affirming as a snare and a rickety stool… Anyone who dreams of a new Black Breath record or wishes that Entombed had played more with crust and less with rock’n’roll should look here.” – Sweden Rock Mag
“…the best and most hard-hitting hardcore I’ve heard so far from little Dannevang, so if you’re just a little bit into the style, then you should come here. Hard!” – Metalized
“…a spittle-flecked call to arms that shouldn’t be ignored by anyone who enjoys their music paired with spin kicks and stage diving.” – Out Of Rage
