Your Spirit Dies "Whispers In Omen" Music Video
05/24/26 | [dcraley]Spread The Disease Return With Their First LP In Decades
Canadian metalcore veterans SPREAD THE DISEASE have announced they will be releasing The Darkness. The Dread. The Suffering., their first LP in nearly thirty years, July 10th on Hypaethral Records. The eight-song effort features a new lineup, including former Bird Of Ill Omen vocalist Shane Post. Now available is the record's first single, "Gods and Politics."
Guitarist Dave Buschemeyer, “Since [guitarist] Trev [Trevor Dykstra] and I had remained friends after all these years and had both been a part of the short-lived New Day Rising reunion where we recorded a bunch of new songs, the idea was floated around to potentially do a new SPREAD THE DISEASE recording. As the two main songwriters, we knew that we could revisit the blackened hardcore style material with some fresh vigor. I had been keeping my chops up with that style of music with Die In The Light and Trev had been playing in multiple projects on his own as well.
“The songs came together relatively easily,” he continues, “but it took a long time to come to fruition. This is the reality of being older, with families, careers, etc. You put in the time when you can. In the end, we’re stoked on how they turned out and we’re excited to play them live!”
Adds Post, “When Dave approached me about the possibility of singing for SPREAD THE DISEASE, I jumped at it. I was very familiar with STD from the ‘90s and was excited for the chance to get to write with them and sing on a new record.
“All of these songs are related to the pressure cooker that we are living in these days. Constant strife. Continuous denial of facts. All while leaning on the fallacy of religion just to get through the day and not be afraid. These songs are speaking to the need to stand up, speak out, and care for your fellow man no matter who it is.”
