Three Sixes is ready to shake up the music scene with their upcoming album, “Call Me The Devil,” set to drop on January 29, 2025. But before then their latest single, which is titled”Welcome to the New World Order,” promises a raw, unfiltered exploration of our complex modern landscape, blending hard-hitting industrial sounds with symphonic metal’s dramatic intensity.
The band has always been known for pushing boundaries, and this album is no exception. By collaborating across different musical styles and geographic locations, Damien, Blake, and Kill have created a record that’s as provocative as it is powerful. Their approach goes beyond music—they’re crafting a statement about global politics, personal struggle, and societal transformation.
“Welcome to the New World Order” stands as a visceral commentary on our current moment. The track weaves personal reflection with broader social critique, challenging listeners to look beyond surface-level narratives. With Three Sixes, music isn’t just sound—it’s a conversation, a challenge, and a mirror reflecting our most uncomfortable truths.

“Congratulations on “Welcome to the New World Order”! What inspired this song’s concept and message?Damien: Thank you. Musically, the foundation was made by Kill and Blake. We were all on the same page as far as a vision went. After they did their parts, they sent it to me. I loved it on the first listen. Once I confirmed the arrangement with them, the chorus just immediately jumped out at me. After we agreed on that, the rest of the lyrics almost wrote themselves. The message came from what has been happening globally and building up for decades up to now. I felt it could be the voice and opinions of not just us as a band, but anyone else who has been following what’s going on, and listens to it today.
How does this single fit into your artistic journey and musical evolution?Blake: I think this song in particular brings a musical intensity that sets the tone for the attitude of the album. It’s a bit faster than anything the band has previously released, and that parallels the increased chaos we’re seeing around the world, as well as the intense feelings we personally have regarding current events. This album was also a chance for me to contribute to the writing process, which given my musical influences, brings a different dynamic to the songs than what’s been previously released.
Damien: It fits perfectly into what Three Sixes has evolved into. This record is another step forward as far as growth goes. I say this because we have generally never really touched on politics or social issues. Subject wise, I was focused in other places. So as this record was being written, all of us had been affected by the terrible economy and we as taxpayers- being treated like shit. It’s an honest view of what the world is seeing right now and it’s not good.
Can you elaborate on the themes and symbolism in “Welcome to the New World Order”?Damien: What’s crazy is the guy that did our video is someone who none of us ever met. I found him on Fiverr. He literally lives on the opposite side of the planet from us. The only communication I had with him was online providing the lyrics, audio and logos. He took it from there. As far as the symbolism goes, I think the guy in the suit and skull wears several different faces; being those of death, surveillance and President Biden.
I thought the factories with the discharge were good too, touching on the global environmental distress. I also thought the protests shown accurately depict what is happening now across the world, especially in American colleges. The overall theme is real-time, unchecked chaos. I think the symbolism was nailed.
Blake: We’ll see how global policies evolve moving forward, but in the last decade especially, we’ve seen insane regulations and restrictions placed on citizens around the world. From COVID lockdowns to social media censorship to dystopian policies pushed forward by power-tripped bureaucrats, there are a lot of areas you can point to that have been contaminated by those who devalue freedom. There are millions of people around the world, including us, who are tired of being conditioned to comply with tyrants.
What personal experiences or observations fueled the lyrics?Damien: Before I had the music for “Reject Control”, BLM riots were going on across the country. Although I live in Southern California, violent crime and home invasions were still going down near me at that time, just a few miles away. I was warned by several friends that it could be coming and to prepare accordingly. I did. Luckily nothing happened, but it spawned the lyrics for “Reject Control”. Most notably, the first four lines which set the tone for the rest of the song.
“Call Me The Devil” was actually a sarcastic song simply to upset PC people because “I Fuck The Dead” (I.F.T.D) didn’t offend people anymore. So I started the tune with the first verse and chorus. Kill and Blake loved it. My only goal was to set snowflakes off on both sides of the aisle because as an Independent, I can do as much. When the guys wanted me to write more, I did. Only to realize I wrote a song about myself, haha! I thought and still think that was pretty funny. They loved this song so much that they wanted it to be the title tune for the record. My ideas were different, but I agreed and I’m glad I did.
While I did my best to make it vague and open to interpretation, “Anticipating Death” was written about someone I knew who took their own life. In retrospect, that person was declaring through their own, blatant actions what they were going to do in front of anyone within eyesight and nobody saw it coming until it happened. At that point, it all made sense. I could go further with other tunes if you want, but there’s a few of them.
Blake: To build off Damien, we liked the idea of “Call Me The Devil” for the album title because that theme permeates across the album. There’s heavy messaging in several of the songs that will likely upset some people, but even outside of our album, there’s the whole cancel culture epidemic.
There’s an entire demographic of people who spend their time getting upset at other people for their views, from the left and the right, and people are demonized for whatever view they have. The album title goes out as a middle finger to anyone, at any level of power, who can’t just have a conversation, but has to resort to name-calling and putting people down.
Can you walk us through your songwriting process?Damien: This time around, it was different than others. Kill lives in Florida. Blake and I live about 20 minutes apart in California. Johnny (R.I.P.) lived about an hour from Blake and me in LA. With the exceptions of a few (Call Me The Devil, They and Anti-theist) the rest of the tunes started with Kill writing the riffs and arranging the songs. He’d email them to Blake.
Those two would decide what they thought was best and would send them to me. I agreed with all of it. We found a formula and a great groove together. Outside the initial version of “They” all of us agreed on the song structures. Once that happened, I knew where the lyrics were gonna go and wrote them. The entire process was literally a total team effort. I think it shows.
Are you exploring new genres or sounds?
Blake: I take influence from many different areas, and for this album I drew a lot of inspiration from Fear Factory, Strapping Young Lad, SepticFlesh, Psycroptic, Machine Head, and many others, not just in terms of musical attitude, but production and mixing. These bands have symphonic and hybrid elements that elevate their music to a whole different level of experience, and I wanted to incorporate that into our sound and build off the previous Three Sixes albums.
Kill: I’m always pulling from different styles of music, personally. Sonically, I wish I had more patience to work with different effects and modulation. When it comes down to it, nothing beats simplicity.
Damien: Always. It’s a never ending journey and nothing is ever out of bounds. It’s arguably my favorite part about what we do.
Will “Welcome to the New World Order” be part of an upcoming album?Damien: Yes. It will be the second of 12 songs from our new record “Call Me The Devil”, to be released on Freethinkers Day, January 29th, 2025.
What’s next creatively for Three Sixes?Damien: We put everything we had from the last 10 years into this record. Shots were fired and the chamber is cleared, so nothing new in the works at the moment.
How do you engage with fans and build community?Damien: We have an emailing list that we use to stay in touch, which we encourage people to sign up for, as well as social media and just going out to see other bands play.
Blake: The most effective way to build a community, in my experience, is person-to-person. Social media posts are great for reaching a large audience, but it’s typically a shallow following built in a very noisy environment, so having personal interaction or direct messaging tends to build stronger connections.
Kill: Social media can be useful or a dumpster fire, either at any given time. It can be tedious to constantly engage, but outside of touring and making that impact with new fans, it’s the best way to develop and nurture those connections.
What message would you like to share with global listeners?Damien: While we apologize for the long delay in between records, I can promise that it will be worth the wait. I’d also like to say that we brought “The album experience” back. So my suggestion to anyone who listens to our latest “Call Me The Devil” record all the way through for the first time is this- put on a pair of headphones, hit “play” and donate 45 minutes of uninterrupted time for a listen. You won’t be disappointed.
Blake: Put this album in your workout playlist, lol.
Kill: First off, thank you for checking us out. We always welcome feedback and conversation regarding our music, or even bands you think we should know about!
