The new 3 Headed Snake single, Dead Bound From Bedlam,” channels classic power metal stylings but with a modern, updated sound.
The LA-based band are headed up by vocalist Johnny Ray, as well as guitarist Sin Quirin, known as well for playing in Ministry for a while. The band released their initial EP, Wisdom Screams, in 2018 and an album called Tyrants in 2021, and now they’re back with some new songs and a sneak of what’s to come from their next album.
The band describe “Dead Bound From Bedlam” as a “quintessential story about scapegoating.”
“This particular song speaks to the power of alternative ideas and how society is quick to shun those who push against its traditional framework. By pushing outcasts away, they turn to other areas of life, usually more involved with the wilderness—which in turn “brings peace and tranquility,” Ray says.
The band also recently dropped another single, “Untouchable Undead,” which came out March 17. Both songs are dark and industrial-tinged in nature, flirting with the darker side of power metal.
