Sacramento, California-based noise metal group Will Haven have filmed a music video for the track \u2018Hewed With The Brand\u2019. Directed by Brian Cox (Flarelight Films), the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Will Haven issued sixth full-length studio album Muerte<\/em> (Spanish for \u2018death\u2019) on March 23rd, 2018 through Minus Head Records.<\/p>\n

Guitarist Jeff Irwin commented: \u201cAll said and done, we spent two years on this record. We had more time than ever to fine tune the music. We really benefited from that. We\u2019re also more in tune with who we are. It\u2019s the first time I walked away going, \u2018There\u2019s nothing else I could\u2019ve done to make this better.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout 2017, the members of Will Haven secretly recorded Muerte<\/em> at Pus Cavern Studios in Sacramento with Joe Johnston engineering and co-producing alongside Irwin. Mastering was handled by Logan Mader. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt like a rebirth,\u201d Irwin adds. \u201cIt sounds like a whole new band. There\u2019s a chemistry that only the four of us can achieve. Who knows what\u2019s next, but this is everything we were always meant to be on a record.\u201d<\/p>\n

Muerte<\/em> includes the six-minute-plus track \u2018El Sol\u2019, co-written and performed with Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Will Haven and Deftones had a kid, that\u2019s what it would sound like,\u201d Irwin comments regarding \u2018El Sol\u2019. \u201cI was in my first band with Stephen. This was really a family thing. While we were in the studio, he sent us an e-mail with an eight-minute song of all riffs. I added the spacey elements. Our vocalist, Grady, is reciting this famous poem about being kind to your fellow man and taking care of each other. Lyrically, it fits the times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yob guitarist Mike Scheidt guests on the track \u2018No Escape\u2019, meanwhile.<\/p>\n
