Today, the noise-rock merchants, Die! Die! Die! release the Smelter EP.

The EP was recorded alongside the band's 7th album, This Is Not An Island Anymore, out in February 2022. This new collection of songs was selected as a stand-alone offering, exploring different dynamics compared to the uncompromising album.

The Smelter EP is being released as a super limited edition transparent yellow 12inch of 100 copies on the band's record label. Available today from the band's Bandcamp and digitally via https://bfan.link/smelter-EP.

Alongside the EP, Die! Die! Die!' has released a Jonas Govaerts (Welp (2014), Of Cats & Women (2007) and Color Out Of Space (2019)) directed video for EP’s title track Smelter.

Says Govaerts, “When DDD asked me to come up with a music video idea for their song Smelter, I was in post-production on a movie, which in my case means a lot of stress dreams… Especially about teeth falling out. I had also just started messing around with open AI programmes like DALL-E, which enables you to generate incredible nightmarish imagery just by typing in a few keywords, like ’teeth’, ‘worms’, or ‘asphalt’… So with my co-director Jaak De Digitale, I set out to make the lip sync video to end all lip sync videos... Or perhaps it’s a PSA about dental hygiene gone wrong; I'm not sure. Anyway, it’s probably the closest I’ll ever get to directing a straightforward performance video!”
