In what’s shaping up to be a killer album, Death By Stereo has released their second single and subsequent music video, “Free Gun With Purchase” off the upcoming album “We’re All Dying Just In Time”, which couldn’t be a more fitting title for what’s going on in the world today. With the band hitting it’s 22nd year together, these first two songs feel reminiscence of the early years, yet still moving forward. The band has come full circle as they are back on Indecision Records, who released their first full-length album “If Looks Could Kill, I’d Watch You Die”. As someone who was at that record release show 21 years ago, I’m having the same anticipation for this new album. The opening sequence of “Free Gun With Purchase” has a “Kill Bill” influence as it starts out black and white with the screen cutting to black followed by the song’s title rising from the bottom of the screen; the whole black and white intro is the duration of the slide guitar intro before the song really kicks into gear.
The overall video is very unique in that the band is backlit to where only their silhouettes projected onto the screen in front of them but with an older film look to it. Throughout the video, there are fade-ins of protests, fully geared up police forces, flashing police lights, and people just wanting change; messages that Death By Stereo has been preaching since the beginning. The video really fits the song nicely and seems to really convey the message they are trying to get across. Definitely give the video a watch and you won’t be disappointed, and mark August 7th on your calendars as that is the official release date of their new album, “We’re All Dying Just In Time”, available around the world on Indecision Records (US) and Concrete Jungle Records (International). Also, on August 4th, tune into the record release live stream starting at 5pm PST, viewing tickets are available at https://deathbystereo.veeps.com/.
