Derelict Share Drum Playthrough Video for "The Escapist"

Montreal’s Derelict has unveiled a brand new drum playthrough video featuring Tommy McKinnon for the track “The Escapist”. The track comes from the band’s most recent, highly-anticipated album, Versus Entropy, which was released last June after a 12-year hiatus.

In a press release announcing the video, the band stated the following:

"We think this one is both brutal and progressive in equal amounts. We think you could describe the album that way as a whole so we thought it was a nice way to wrap it up."

Drummer Tommy McKinnon added:

"The Escapist was definitely one of the most challenging tunes I had to nail for the album. The tempo is pretty fast and there are breaks in sextuplets, which are sort of tricky to get into after just giving her at 203 bpm. This was my last day of tracking (I took a week off work) and I was getting kind of pissed off because I was about to run out of time. I had planned to film that song as a play-thru while recording the album because I felt like it was a great song to watch on drums. Anyway, I got it done and this is what you can see here. Worth the trouble in my opinion!"
