The Last Ten Seconds of Life play Foufounes Electriques in Montreal on April 10 as part of a short North American run tied to their upcoming album The Dead Ones, due April 17 on Metal Blade Records. The Pennsylvania deathcore band arrive mid-tour, one night after a stop in Quebec City, with support from Traitors, Nailed Shut, and Flesh Prison on the Canadian dates.
The Montreal show lands in the final stretch of a run that started April 2 in Columbus and wraps April 16 in Cleveland. It follows a recent winter tour where the band supported Left To Suffer, placing them back in front of the same circuit of smaller venues and heavy lineups that have shaped their audience. Foufounes, long a fixture for touring metal acts in the city, continues to host these mid-level bills that rarely scale up to larger rooms but reliably draw a committed crowd.
The tour is built around The Dead Ones, the band’s first release for Metal Blade. The record includes the single Make It To Heaven, which features Signs Of The Swarm vocalist David Simonich, along with guest spots from former Fit For An Autopsy vocalist Nate Johnson and Distant’s Alan Grnja. Original vocalist Storm Strope also appears on one track, marking a return to an earlier era of the band’s lineup.
Recording sessions took place at Atrium Audio in Pennsylvania with producers Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland. The band leaned into a lower tuning approach, using a baritone guitar in Drop F, along with effects pedals designed to thicken the low end. Guitarist Wyatt McLaughlin described the result as a denser, more physical sound, aimed at translating directly to the live setting.
Frontman Tyler Beam has framed the material in more direct terms, pointing to themes shaped by his upbringing and a rejection of prescribed paths. The lyrics on Make It To Heaven centre on autonomy and finality rather than redemption, a shift that aligns with the band’s recent writing.
The April 10 date puts Montreal near the end of the release cycle buildup, with the album arriving one week later. The band moves on to London, Ontario two days after, before heading back into the United States for the final leg.
