Death Is the Answer
Death Is The Answer is the first single by Brooklyn, NY's Early Man.[1] The song starts off in a very Black Sabbath-like manner: slow and heavy. As the song progresses, it steps up into a speed metal song, complete with multiple solos. Near the song's conclusion, it returns to the original tempos and riffs.[2] PopMatters complimented the pair on a "seamless shift from first generation metal to the more streetwise NWOBHM style" within the song.[3]
The music video for "Death is The Answer" is very straightforward: it mainly shows Adam Bennati and Mike Conte playing the song. At parts the video shows a Demolition Derby. There is also a car with the band's name on it, which participated in the Derby. It found moderate rotation on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball, which airs every Saturday night at 11:00 PM.
The song is featured in the opening montage in the first episode ("Chapter 1") in the HBO Series Eastbound & Down, which premiered February 15, 2009.
