Perth groove metal act Bayview Suspect recently announced their new EP “Survival Or Ruin” earlier this month with the first single “Until Dusk” receiving rave reviews and positive feedback from fans and press alike including Hysteria Magazine stating “This EP has everything you could want from truly imaginative melodic groove metal–vicious vocals, machine gun drum lines, killer guitar and bass runs that tickle the ears like ants on speed“.
The band capitalise on the success of the first single by releasing a second track titled “Laced With Deception”, together with a cool new lyric video depicting the post-apocalyptic artwork found on the EP release. Watch and listen to the track below.
“Survival Or Ruin” will be released on September 14th through Rockpit Records. Pre-order is now available and comes in various options including digital download, physical CD and an exclusive bundle pack comprised of CD, digital download, t-shirt, 2 stickers and a limited edition banner style poster featuring the EP artwork available at a special pre-order price for a limited time.

Perth groove metal act Bayview Suspect are ready to shake things up and get some heads banging again with the release of their new EP “Survival Or Ruin” due out September 14th through Rockpit Records. Produced by drummer Luke Specter and guitarist Brody Lawrence, the EP was recorded in Perth at Bayview Studios and Superfreak Studios with engineering and mixing duties handled by Daniel Thabet and Johnny Sohl. All tracks were mixed and mastered at Liquid Studios in Merrick, New York.
“Survival Or Ruin” is a brilliant and natural follow up to their debut EP “To Whom It May Concern” which was released in 2016. Where the band started with a heavy groove that takes influences from bands such as Lamb Of God and Whitechapel, this new release sees the band incorporate more melody and a hint of a more European metal sound that shows progression and a willingness to keep things fresh.
“From hook to breakdown, we’re proud of how Survival or Ruin showcases our evolution and song writing progression“, says the band. “This EP is a testament to our need to experiment sonically and allows us to write tunes that’ll stay with you.”
The band also recently announced a new member into the fold, Kristian Climo who takes over on guitar duties. The band comments: “Already being friends with Kristian and knowing how well he plays, we knew he would be a solid fit into Bayview.”
