Archspire Unleashes “Red Goliath” Ahead of Upcoming Album
Canadian death metal juggernauts Archspire have made waves in the music scene with the release of their latest single, “Red Goliath.” This track is the third offering from their highly anticipated album, Too Fast To Die, which is set to drop on April 10, 2026. Fans are eager to see if they can survive the relentless pace of their new material.
Insights from the Band
Guitarist Dean Lamb shared his quirky yet insightful take on “Red Goliath.” He commented, “Have you ever wanted something sooooo bad, but it just didn’t exist or seem possible? Like hot carbonated coffee or underwear that doesn’t make your back fat pop out like two extra butt cheeks? Well, that’s exactly how we felt writing our song, ‘Red Goliath!'”
Lamb went on to express the challenges the band faced during the songwriting process, likening it to solving a difficult math problem from grade school. “But somehow, by the grace of Satan, we managed to pull off writing the most couch-humping, super sonic technical black metal song known to the universe. We hope you all absolutely despise this evil song as much as we do!”
