For fans of Grim Reaper, King Diamond, Exodus, Megadeth, Wasp, Striker, Skullfist, Judas Priest
“The Underground was the second song written for our forthcoming second album, and the first rehearsed after our debut album’s release. Soon, we found the dramatic pauses at the end of the first pre-chorus and the tightness at the end of the song evolved into an energizing mood, elevating the song. Describing philosophies of anger and conflict electrify the mid sections of the song, while a story plays out in the verses of a gutter-bound wasteland child rising to a life of power and vengeance.” – Rhyse Tremel – Karnage through Crossing

About the single artwork:
The image is the back load in the staircase of a popular underground venue in Calgary, tied in with the lyrical themes in the song, telling of a steampunk dystopia where a woman grows up in the slums to become a pit fighter

FUN FACTS – STORY ANGLES:
What can we say, the boys have partied with the animals, brought the baddies, and rocked stages they dreamed of only a few years before. But most of that we can’t talk about. We’ve played with some of our favorite bands, and played with bands that aren’t here with us anymore, burned up venues that no longer exist, and changed tires beside the fastest highway traffic in western Canada. We like to play BIG and we like to ROCK HARD! The Underground is for all of you, and the start of the new KTX Era is coming to you from this moment on

For fans of New Wave Traditional Heavy Metal and Thrash Metal, crossing over with explosive moments of death metal, Karnage Through Crossing is the next heavy-hitting powerhouse! Releasing full-bodied, screaming, shredding singles off their new album, throned on the songwriting diversity of their independently released debut album, an intriguing new conquest is capturing the hearts and fists of headbangers abroad.
