New York thrash metallers Extinction A.D. have unveiled their blistering new single “Center of Zero” through M-Theory Audio. The track arrives alongside an accompanying lyric video, which you can check out below.
“I spent some time reflecting on what I learned growing up in music, and not just the ideals that shaped me and the band but the friendships and bonds that were created through the metal and hardcore scenes,” notes singer/guitarist Rick Jimenez. “That also brings about the thoughts of who and what to avoid when creating something as pure as music should be. Usually XAD is exploring the negatives and how to survive through them but this was a reflection on how friendship through music has enriched my life.”
The band’s camp adds, “Center Of Zero” includes a blistering mix of crossover thrash metal, metallic hardcore, and even groove metal musically connecting to ‘90s heavy hitters (think Sepultura, Vision of Disorder and Machine Head) seamlessly blending with aggressive, New York hardcore-style gang vocals and stomp-heavy breakdowns.
