Metal Anarchy

Nailed Shut MA have premiered a new video for their new song “Centipede.” This track is from the band’s new EP, “a promise made, a promise kept,” which will be released on March 5.

The group said the following about the single:

”‘Centipede’ is truly a stand out track on a promise made, a promise kept, as it was definitely our biggest writing challenge on this EP. We wanted a song that combined groove, complexity, atmosphere, and intensity all into something fresh for audiences of our genres. We’ve been debuting this song live on a few prior shows and it’s been cool to watch franticity become still for a moment during the ambient intro as an audience prepares for what’s to come and more disarray awaits.”

They also added the following about the EP:

“This EP has been such a long time coming for us, and we couldn’t feel more fulfilled. With ‘a promise made, a promise kept,’ we really felt as if we’ve begun to lean into a signature sound that can only be described as ‘an eeriness of self-inflicted violence.’ This EP contains intense themes of mental health awareness and personal harm. We’ve truly poured our all into this record as we take from personal experiences of loss and the departure of self-control. Ultimately, a promise made, a promise kept isn’t in any way a pretty listen. But it’s here to drown out the dread that may be eating at you and it’s here to help in any way it can.”
