DEAD CROSS Feat. MIKE PATTON, DAVE LOMBARDO: New Song 'Shillelagh' Available For Streaming

“Shillelagh”, a brand new song from DEAD CROSS, the Southern California outfit featuring drummer Dave Lombardo (ex-SLAYER, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, MISFITS), and singer Mike Patton (FAITH NO MORE), can be streamed using the SoundCloud widget below. The track will appear on DEAD CROSS‘s forthcoming debut album, which will be released later in the year via via Ipecac Recordings. The effort was helmed by producer Ross Robinson, who has previously worked with KORN, DEFTONES, SEPULTURA and LIMP BIZKIT, among others, and was mastered at Golden Mastering in Ventura, California.

DEAD CROSS, which is rounded out by Justin Pearson (THE LOCUST, RETOX, HEAD WOUND CITY) and Michael Crain (RETOX, FESTIVAL OF DEAD DEER), last year parted ways with singer Gabe Serbian.

Asked how Patton‘s addition to DEAD CROSS has changed the band’s sound, Pearson told the Faith No More Followers web site: “It’s hard to explain. The band is still finding its own skin to fit into. No matter whom you bring into a band, the sound becomes who all are part of it. Let’s revisit this question after the album comes out, after we play shows with the new lineup, and after we can reflect on things.”

Pearson also talked about DEAD CROSS‘s collaboration with Robinson. He said: “Ross is one of the most amazing people I’ve worked with. I’m so grateful for his involvement with the things I have been able to do with him. He has certainly helped me grow and opened my eyes and mind to so many things, musical and non-musical. And the non-musical aspects are as important as the musical, if not more. However, he didn’t track Patton‘s vocals. The music was tracked and produced with Ross when we were working with Gabe. Once Gabe left the band, there was a shift and since then, Patton has tracked the vocals on his own.”
