One of thrash metal’s most exciting young contenders, HAZZERD, release another video giving fans further evidence of the strength and diversity of the Canadian quartet’s new album. “Unto Ashes” comes from HAZZERD’s new album, ‘The 3rd Dimension,’ out tomorrow, January 17th.
“’Unto Ashes’ is one of the longer songs on the record. We wanted to kinda make a song similar to ‘Battery’ by Metallica, and that being the unrelenting aggression for the first half of the song,” explains drummer/vocalist Dylan Westendorp. “The song itself is talking about Thanos from the Marvel comics. His egotistical thinking and him collecting the stones and wiping out half the planet was a pretty gnarly song topic, the chorus of the song is pretty telling on what the song is about. Also, it incorporates newer elements into our songwriting with that middle section and the gang vocals as well, plus some melody here and there. A longer cut with some cool elements woven throughout.”

‘The 3rd Dimension’ is the anticipated follow-up to 2020’s ‘Delirium,’ one of the best and consistent sellers at M-Theory Audio that even received a nod from Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine who championed the group as a promising thrash hopeful, alongside Power Trip. ‘The 3rd Dimension,’ was mastered by Johnny Gasparic (Into Eternity) and features cover artwork once again by Andrei Bouzikov (Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust, Skeletonwitch).
“’The 3rd Dimension’ portrays our human influences through media. Whether that be television, movies, music, or video games. Each song tells its own story through a narrative inspired by something created in the 3rd Dimension (3D media). Thank you all for being so patient with us while we worked on the band as a whole and the new album over the last few years,” states Dylan. “We really can’t wait for you to hear it. This is for you — the fans, the underground.”
