OUTBURN ONLINE March 12, 2021 UXO.â The track is off the bandâs new full-length album Kill Grid out today via Century Media Records. âThis song is lyrically self-explanatory,â says singer Knox Colby about âUXO.â âItâs about the cluster bombing of Laos during the Vietnam War. The main focus of the lyrics are about the cultural impact that the unexploded ordnance (abbreviated UXO) has had over the last 50 years. Over 20,000 people have died accidentally from stepping on these bombs that are the size of a softball and scattered over the entire country, which is predominantly covered in dense jungle (last I checked, 35% of the country is still contaminated with UXO). Itâs an issue the United States has only recently owned up to, but the government wonât apologize for; itâs shameful.â Guitarist Will Wagstaff on the music: â When this song was written I was listening to 2 specific songs on repeat. âDyingâ by Obituary and âCorporal Jigsore Quandaryâ by Carcass. Both tracks are just so driving with the double bass and grooviness and I wanted to try to write something somewhat in that vein.â
