Los Angeles thrashers FUELED BY FIRE have unleashed the music video for their newest single, “Mangled Truth.” The track is the B-side from “Past…Present…No Future…Part 2,” the second in a pair of two-song 7-inch vinyl releases recorded by Allen Falcon (Exmortus, Blade Killer), mixed by Carlos Cruz (Warbringer, Power Trip) and mastered by Joel Grind (Toxic Holocaust, Midnight).
The new limited-edition 7-inch release is the follow-up to last fall’s “Past…Present…No Future…Part 1” and will be released on Friday, March 4th. Pre-orders are available now at http://www.smarturl.com/fueledbyfire.
“‘Mangled Truth’ is a song about world leaders who hold the highest responsibilities in our society, who fail to deliver the most basic quality of trust, which is telling the truth,” explains singer/guitarist Rick Rangel. “Worldwide, we see this again and again, whether it’s election, financial gain, or even war, there are those in power who will be twisting reality and spitting lies.”
Due to popular demand, the four tracks that make up the series of “Past…Present…No Future” 7-inch releases will also be released together on one CD by M-Theory Audio. Pre-orders for this special EP release – also hitting streets on Friday, March 4th – are also available at http://www.smarturl.com/fueledbyfire. Initially set to be released in fall 2020, the songs put together by the new lineup – consisting of returning members Rick Rangel (guitars/vocals), Anthony Vasquez (bass) and Carlos Gutierrez (drums), who are now joined by Gutierrez’s bandmate in Blade Killer, guitarist Jon Rubio – were further refined during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The band’s first new music since 2013 was unveiled in September 2021 with a visualizer video for “Bloodshed,” which can be viewed at https://youtu.be/Xzvu-CBJogY. This was followed by the November 2021 release of the music video for “Disrupt,” which can be viewed at https://youtu.be/0_ZeKx_RxKU. The first of two 7-inch vinyl releases, “Past…Present…No Future…Part 1” – which features “Disrupt” on the A-side and “Bloodshed” on the B-side – showcased FUELED BY FIRE as a group ready to re-stake its claim to thrash metal supremacy, with the release of “Past…Present…No Future…Part 2” set to continue the onslaught, featuring “Non-Existent” on the A-side and “Mangled Truth” on the B-side.
