California metal crew, Spite have shared their new single “The Root of All Evil” to celebrate the start of the Chaos and Carnage tour with Dying Fetus and Whitechapel. The quickly rising five-piece combines downtempo hardcore, death metal and metalcore influences with blistering breakdowns to create a brutal sound that is rapidly drawing new fans.
The newest single reaffirms Spite as one of the angriest bands in the scene without losing any of the intricacies that make their heaviness so appealing to the devout fandom known as the “Spite Cult”. The warcry that is “The Root of All Evil” is the first new music from the band since their 2017 full-length, Nothing Is Beautiful, and is just the beginning of their new mission of destruction.
Speaking on the track vocalist, Darius Tehrani says:
“‘The Root of All Evil’ is about embracing the darkness that swells in your core and going through with your sinister urges. No help to seek, no God above, no happy ending. While others attempt to pick up the pieces of a failing society, you thrive in the negativity, the hatred, and the violence.”
