Melodic death metallers Rival Order have uploaded their new single “Next In Line” in official lyric video form — check out the clip below. The track appears on the band’s second EP, ‘Beyond The Ashes,’ which drops on August 27, 2021.
“‘Next In Line’ was largely inspired by my own struggles as an artist,” comments guitarist Joey Rival. “We face so many obstacles by not only our own design, be it self-doubt or fear of failure, but sometimes from our loved ones who may be unable to see the end result. I have always found music to be my safe space and the one and only way I can truly express myself. My hope is that through my art I can inspire others to continue to pursue their passions.”
A press release states, “In 2019 Joey Rival, the songwriter and mastermind behind RIVAL ORDER, set out to bring together a group of musicians to bring life to his songs. He began assembling a team of musicians starting with lead vocalist Chris Clancy (Mutiny Within), whose range includes melodic singing to guttural death growls. Lead guitarist and solo artist Pat Reilly (Tengger Cavalry, Fellahin Fall) was then chosen after hearing his expressive playing and session work.”
The presser adds, “To fill out the rhythm section, drummer Kurt Holz and bassist Lou Hannoe were recruited. The group released the the-song Beginnings EP last March and had begun tracking a second EP when Holtz quit the band, leaving the new record in limbo. As luck would have it drummer extraordinaire Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth) was available to lend his talents to the new record.”
