The Order of The Precious Blood, the blackened hardcore punk band hailing from St John’s Newfoundland, Canada, has two chaotic singles coming out this spring, in rapid succession. The first, “Cheaper But Will Do”, is a relentless two-minute journey that blurs the line between metal and hardcore punk. The single immerses listeners in a whirlwind of chaotic emotions, rapidly transitioning through sections while maintaining an intense and abrasive sound. Vocalist Paul Brake comments on the succinct single:

“It started with me seeing an episode of the 90’s television show Unsolved Mysteries where a crime had taken place and inside the home was this cryptic phrase written on the wall. The episode creeped me out when I first saw it and the phrase always stuck with me and I always kind of thought it could be a title for a song. The lyrics paint a bleak picture of a chaotic world where we’re all doing what we can to survive and in the end challenge you to “maintain existence now”.”

“Cheaper But Will Do” showcases the band's evolution toward heavier influences, blending elements from death metal and black metal into the hardcore punk landscape. One of the things they pride themselves on is the energy and atmosphere in their live shows. All members are fully engaged with the audience and the music, and they keep an intense connection between them and the people in the crowd. There is wild chaos, creepy sound effects, and a little bit of danger, but ultimately a safe space for everyone to come and express themselves and have a good time. They can be found in the following cities in the coming months listed below:

Known for their frenetic style, The Order of The Precious Blood creates an experience akin to a horror movie come to life - relentless, punishing, and claustrophobic. “Cheaper But Will Do” marries lightning-fast hardcore punk with searing noisy dissonance, accompanied by aggressive and emotive vocals that deliver venom straight to the listener's face. It is recommended for fans of Converge, Alexisonfire, and Every Time I Die.
