New York-based metal project Quemasantos have released an official lyric video for “One Foot In Hell,” the opening track from their forthcoming second album, Stranded In Hell.
Set for release on October 9, Stranded In Hell was previously announced as an 11-track concept album and will mark the project’s first full-length performed entirely in English.
“One Foot In Hell” draws inspiration from the aggressive thrash and death metal of the late ’80s and early ’90s. The track combines fast, thrash-driven sections with a contrasting middle passage that serves as the foundation for its guitar solo.
The song also features a guest appearance from Masacre guitarist Juancho Gómez, one of 11 guest guitarists featured across Stranded In Hell.
“One Foot In Hell was actually one of the last songs that came together for the album, but once it was finished, I knew it was the right place to begin,” Quemasantos founder Ignacio Orellana said. “It has that old-school aggression I grew up loving, but it also contains several different pieces of my own musical history. For me, it became the perfect first step into Stranded In Hell.”
Vocalist and lyricist Nelson “Sr. Díaz” added: “One Foot In Hell is one of the most intense songs I’ve recorded in recent years. Many different styles coexist harmoniously within it, along with a high level of vocal demand. I believe the infernal horror it presents is captured faithfully through a demonically powerful yet technical performance that will take us into a paroxysm of metal.”
Orellana handled drums, bass, music, production, mixing and mastering for Stranded In Hell, while Díaz provided vocals and lyrics. The album will arrive digitally and on CD.
Quemasantos will also host a Stranded In Hell listening party on September 15, giving fans an opportunity to hear the complete record ahead of its October 9 release.
