Last week, COUNTERPARTS — Brendan Murphy, vocals; Kyle Brownlee, drums; Tyler Williams; guitars, and Jesse Doreen, guitars — dropped “Heaven Let Them Die”, a surprise EP. The band also shared videos for “A Martyr Left Alive” and “No Lamb Was Lost”.
“‘Heaven Let Them Die’ is COUNTERPARTS at our most aggressive — sonically, lyrically and visually,” says Murphy. “Picking up where ‘Eulogy’ ended, ‘Heaven Let Them Die’ details how I came to terms with all I had foreshadowed in the previous release and how that led me to where I am now. This EP is the most authentic representation of COUNTERPARTS to date — honest, harsh and without restraint.”
“Heaven Let Them Die” EP track listing:
01. A Martyr Left Alive
02. With Loving Arms Disfigured
03. To Hear of War
04. No Lamb Was Lost
05. Praise No Artery Intact
06. Heaven Let Them Die
Since forming in 2007, COUNTERPARTS have gone from the Hamilton, Ontario, underground to touring the world as one of Canada’s most important and impactful musical exports. They’ve released seven full lengths, with “A Eulogy For Those Still Here” landing in 2022. They’ve also released four EPs and a live album. Now, they have delighted fans with the surprise EP “Heaven Will Let Them Die”, out via Pure Noise. The band has sold 250,000 albums through the course of its career and their most recent headliner in support of “A Eulogy For Those Still Here” was almost entirely sold out.
