A monster film from 1954 lends its exclamation mark to a song about machines that pick their own targets, and Diabology have released "Them!".
It is the first song from Demons and Parasites, a four song EP set for 12 February through Dissonant Hymns Records. The track puts artificial intelligence, killer robots and the nuclear fear of 1950s science fiction in one place, and takes its name from the film about ants grown vast in the desert after a bomb test.
Diabology formed in Los Angeles in 2016 and play death metal crossed with thrash. The EP will be their first release since Father of Serpents in 2022, which followed the debut Nobody Believes Me in 2020.
Jesse Bergen sings and plays guitar, with Bradley Irving on the second guitar since 2024, Vikram Sinha on bass since 2023 and Roan Quirarte on drums.
The rest of the EP has not been detailed.
