METHEDRINE Share New Single ‘A Massgrave for my Dreams’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on December 15, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: METHEDRINE. Leave a comment

Italian crossover and boundary-pushing quartet METHEDRINE have signed to Time To Kill Records for the release of their debut album, “No Solution, No Salvation”.

The album is due out on January 19th 2024. The first single “A Massgrave for my Dreams” is now available HERE.

Frontman Lou shares his sentiments about the track:

“’A Massgrave for my Dreams’ is a mental little film shot in Super 8 with expired films developed in a tincture of hatred, discomfort and marginalization: Nick’s blast beat breaks in and I fall towards the bottom of my darkest feelings, my memories in black and white, only to wake up among the violence of reality. The central theme of the lyrics is time, which passes too quickly, which changes perspective, which disappoints and shatters our dreams, which betrays, which pushes us towards aridity, resentment and sloth… It’s later than we think. The sudden accelerations and slowdowns of the song are a metaphor for life, Dario’s riffs and Bob’s bass are almost like a symphony orchestra, dramatic like a soundtrack, and I find myself in the middle, in the twilight of my sanity, throwing my dreams into a mass grave.”

On this new album the band incorporate death and black metal influences into their hardcore imprint, creating a darker and more robust sound. Some of the songs also feature the contribution of friends such as Fabione from Hobos, Mark from Eu’s Arse/ Tytus, Domenico from Fulci and Samall from Slander.

Tracklist:

01. Bob’s Gay Hunting Ground
02. Matapuercos
03. Luminol
04. Die Once
05. Upset with the World
06. Deep Blue
07. Cruel and Short
08. Sugar Pie (Honey Bunch)
09. No Solution, No Salvation
10. The Dark Wake
11. A Massgrave for my Dreams

Pre-order:

METHEDRINE originally took shape in 2017 when Upset Noise (pioneers of Italian crossover/d-beat in the 80s) disbanded after a brief reunion.Bone (drums), Lucio (vocals) and Mark (guitar) started looking for new members for a new band. Dario (guitar) and Bob (bass) answered the call and the band started mixing influences ranging from Motorhead to early thrash and hardcore, looking for new musical landscapes.}
A taste of the material was released on the EP “Built For Speed” in March 2018. After a couple of years spent spreading their message on stages (in Italy, Belgium and Croatia), tensions built up within the band, until Bone and Mark decided to leave the project. The remaining members wasted no time and their search for a new drummer ended when Nik answered the call.
The brand new METHEDRINE 2.0 are now further exploring the d-beat/crossover legacy, expanding their sonic perspectives with more varied and darker influences.
