Straight out of Harrisburg, PA, Suicide Puppets, a metal crew with an industrial twist, is about to drop their new EP, “Beyond The Veil,”. Picture this: killer riffs, eerie symphonics, and a deep dive into the minds of serial killers. They recently inked a deal with M&O Records, adding to the anticipation. Tracks like “Death Note” and “1000 Ways to Die” keep the theme dark and twisted, hitting you fast and hard.
I caught up with Veritas Suicide, the drummer of the crew, for the lowdown. Turns out, music’s been in their blood since day one, with influences ranging from horror flicks to serial killers. They started on the violin in first grade and took cues from legendary drummer Vinnie Paul to up their game.
As Suicide Puppets gears up for shows and studio time, they’re all about living life to the max. Their message to fans? Seize the day, every day. So, get ready to be hit with some killer tunes and a vibe that’s pure metal mayhem.
