Behind The Tracks: Crush The Core - Church Of Demise (Single) (2023)

1. Can you take us through the process of creating your latest single? What inspired the lyrics and melody?

Our latest single Church of Demise involved a collaborative effort within the band. It started with the riffs writing and composition. We always record a demo first. Send the new "demo" single to our drummer. Later, rehearse it with the band so Eric, our drummer can compose his drum parts.

We set up the studio for recording, recorded the single, mixed the tracks and mastered them in our studio. Simultaneously, we designed striking artwork to complement the single's identity. Afterward, we strategized our release plan and engaged our fan base through social media, interviews, etc...

It was a challenging but rewarding process that we're proud of, and we're excited to share our music with our fans.

The lyrics for Church Of Demise were inspired by our deep-seated aversion to organized religion in all its forms. We typically discover the melody for our songs before crafting the lyrics. For Church Of Demise, we found the melodies for the verses and choruses first and then worked on matching the right words to fit.
