Upon A Burning Body return with a new full length offering, entitled Southern Hostility, due out June 7th on Seek And Strike. The album's first single, "King Of Diamonds", has been launched as a official music video, directed by Scott Hansen (Motionless In White, Sevendust), and can be viewed now below.

Guitarist Ruben Alvarez states: "We simply felt it was time for a change. This new album is definitely a huge statement for us. It was time to reinvent ourselves and get back to our roots - pure heavy fucking metal! The energy of this album takes us back to our first two, but with much more maturity.

"We worked for two months with Christopher Mora (producer) and our younger brother, Thomas Alvarez (co-producer). They are both amazing song writers and were able to help us create fresh and infectious ideas. The four of us worked together to create a fresh, raw and energetic sound. We took influences from some of the greatest metal bands of all-time (Pantera, Metallica, etc), in order to fill a void that many people are craving and need. Once we finished tracking and putting the final touches we realized we created an album that would change everything for us. This is what everyone has been waiting for: no gimmicks and just straight in your face metal!"
