San Antonio based metalcore mainstays Upon A Burning Body have released their debut single from their upcoming album entitled ‘Southern Hostility’. Coming in at album number five, the ten-track follow up to 2016’s ‘Straight From The Barrio’ is scheduled for release on the 7th of June via their new label Seek and Strike Records.

In speaking of their new album guitarist Ruben Alverez states that, ‘We simply felt it was time for a change. This new album is definitely a huge statement for us. It was time to reinvent ourselves and get back to our roots — pure heavy fucking metal! The energy of this album takes us back to our first two, but with much more maturity’.

Continuing, ‘We worked for two months with Christopher Mora (producer) and our younger brother, Thomas Alvarez (co-producer). They are both amazing songwriters and were able to help us create fresh and infectious ideas. The four of us worked together to create a fresh, raw and energetic sound. We took influences from some of the greatest metal bands of all time (PANTERA, METALLICA, etc), in order to fill a void that many people are craving and need. Once we finished tracking and putting the final touches, we realized we created an album that would change everything for us. This is what everyone has been waiting for: no gimmicks and just straight-in-your-face metal!’
