Exclusive Track Premiere: Enabler’s “Live Low”
Two out of two MetalSucks co-founders agree: Enabler are fucking awesome, and the full-length they released last year, All Hail the Void, was one of the best releases of 2012. Which is why we jumped at the chance to premiere “Live Low,” a new track from the band’s forthcoming EP, Shift of Redemption. It is an absolutely worthy follow-up to Void, and “Live Low” demonstrates all the qualities that make Enabler so goddamn great: militaristic riffage, ball-tumor-destroying bass, and pissed-off to a psychopathic degree, punk rock attitude. How anyone could not love a song that opens with the lyrics “FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOUR FOREVER!” is beyond us.
Here’s guitarist/vocalist Jeff Lohrber on the track:
“I’m sure I could find some way to doctor this up and make this song seem like more than it is, but I see no reason to fool anyone. I was pretty pissed off and I intended on writing the ultimate ‘fuck you’ song. This song is probably my favorite Enabler song to play live. I can apply the lyrics in this song to many people in my life and I’m sure you can too. Fuck you forever.”
Check out “Live Low” below, then pre-order Shift of Redemption here. Think Fast! Records will release the EP worldwide on April 9 via digital download and 7”; the first pressing is limited to 1,000 copies, with 350 copies pressed on gold wax and 650 on clear.
