I do know it could sound preposterous, however Powerman 5000 didn’t go away as soon as Tonight The Stars Revolt did all these years in the past. They’ve been round, making music, enjoying dwell exhibits, and usually simply present, with their most up-to-date launch being 2020’s The Noble Rot. So it shouldn’t come as a shock that they’ve bought a brand new file popping out in a pair weeks known as Abandon Ship and earlier right this moment they launched a single for it known as “Dancing Like We’re Lifeless.”
Actually, this was the band’s second single off their forthcoming album, with the primary appropriately titled “1999”, which was the identical yr their breakout album launched 25 years in the past. Described within the press launch for this new tune as “trailblazing electro-metal hybridizers,” Powerman 5000 nonetheless have that onerous rock/metallic/digital really feel that’s kinda enjoyable but in addition kinda tacky too.
Frontman Spider One stays entrance and middle on this new monitor, evoking the identical kind of spoopy imagery of severed heads and undertakers dancing it up at a rave that his older brother Rob Zombie would in all probability get down with. As the one unique member within the band, he’s the one which ties all of it collectively, actually. And for a quick second within the monitor, the guitars get to eat just a little bit and chug out a quick little riff, in order that’s one thing!
Does this monitor make you wish to head to the “darkish aspect of the dancefloor”? Test it out and tell us within the feedback.
Abandon Ship might be launched on Might 10, however you may pre-order or pre-save your copy right this moment.
