The group said the following:

“We can’t believe the day is finally here that we get to announce that our second full length record, ‘Bastard Hymns‘ will be all yours this winter. Putting this album together came with so many challenges and we feel incredibly lucky to have had such a great team of people behind it, so that it finally sees the light of day. Welcome to the next chapter of Excide.”

A video for the first single, “Worth Your Salt,” can be found below. Tyler Washington added the following about that:

“The title comes from an old euphemism, and I always thought it would be cool to use as a double-meaning for a song. Some people just aren’t worth the attention that others pay to their opinions or general disdain for things. If I’ve learned anything, a closed mind is usually an ignorant or insecure one. This song is about how when you peel back that hard exterior, those pessimists usually don’t have much to show for how loudly they beat their chest.”

He also commented on the video:

“A couple of us grew up loving the Lethal Weapon movies, and when music videos could be goofy. We wanted to do a spoof-like music video that hits all the stereotypical ’80s crime movie niches. Anthony Altamura was so into the idea when we brought it to him, and really dialed it in. Genuinely such a fun video to make with all the guys. We hope it makes you laugh as hard as we did watching it back for the first time!”
