The iconic Italian death-grinders UNDERTAKERS have premiered their latest single, a cover of the Ramones' 'Pet Sematary', showcasing their unique blend of punk attitude and dark, grinding intensity. This release marks UNDERTAKERS' first since their 2020 album "Dictatorial Democracy", and it sees them venturing into new territory by paying homage to one of punk rock's most legendary bands.
The band shared their thoughts on the release, highlighting the Ramones' influence on their music and the punk genre at large. 'The Ramones have consistently embodied the spirit that so fascinates UNDERTAKERS: a sharp punk attitude combined with an imagery steeped in darkness and sickness. 'Pet Sematary' represents the perfect example of what makes them unique, being a sort of experiment in creating a punk rock ballad that manages to unanimously capture the attention of listeners, becoming an icon in the collective music landscape.'
Adding to the track's allure is the participation of Karim Qqru, the drummer of The Zen Circus, whose involvement UNDERTAKERS described as both a point of pride and a contribution that enriches the depth and variety of their musical experience.
'Pet Sematary' not only serves as a bridge connecting UNDERTAKERS with their punk roots but also as a testament to their ability to innovate within the genre, offering fans both old and new a fresh take on a classic track. As they continue to blend elements of death metal and punk, UNDERTAKERS remain a band unafraid to experiment and pay respect to their musical forebears, all while forging their own path forward.
