Counterparts surprise-dropped not just a new song and not just a new music video. The group dropped their six-track Heaven Let Them Die EP via Pure Noise Records The drop is accompanied by the fiery “A Martyr Left Alive” / “No Lamb Was Lost” music video.
Of the new EP, lead vocalist Brendan Murphy says, “Heaven Let Them Die is Counterparts at our most aggressive — sonically, lyrically and visually. Picking up where [A Eulogy For Those Still Here] ended, Heaven Let Them Die details how I came to terms with all I had foreshadowed in the previous release and how that led me to where I am now. This EP is the most authentic representation of Counterparts to date — honest, harsh, and without restraint.”
