For almost two decades, Genghis Tron bandleaders Michael Sochynsky and Hamilton Jordan have gazed into the future and imagined what the world would look like after the extinction of our species \u2013 an outcome that has long troubled but also inspired them to steer the pioneering outfit in breaking new ground with each successive release. With their fourth full-length album Signal Fire, Genghis Tron awaken us from the post-apocalyptic daydreams of their previous work with a violent \u2013 and most welcome \u2013 shove.<\/p>\n
Roaring onto the scene in 2004 with a uniquely demented blend of extreme metal, synthesizer textures, and drum-machine madness, Genghis Tron are no strangers to making a forceful impression. But Signal Fire marks the first time the band \u2013 joined Tony by Wolski (The Armed) on vocals, Nick Yacyshyn (SUMAC) on drums, plus newcomer Kenny Szymanski (The Armed) on bass \u2013 has captured this level of urgency with such visceral precision.<\/p>\n
Signal Fire \u2013 which was co-produced and mixed by Seth Manchester (Model\/Actriz, Battles, Big|Brave) \u2013 unfolds in kaleidoscopic fashion. The album\u2019s latest single \u201cBorn Prey\u201d navigates deftly through Genghis Tron\u2019s classic sonic touchpoints: furious blastbeats, electronic breaks, haunting vocal earworms, and a towering synth-pop crescendo.<\/p>\n
The band comments on \u201cBorn Prey\u201d: \u201cWe\u2019re proud to share our first true ripper since \u2018Board Up The House\u2019 (2008). We still love making bonkers-ass abrasive music, and after \u2018Dream Weapon\u2019 (2021)\u2014which was very focused on creating a hypnotic and ethereal experience\u2014we couldn\u2019t pass up a second opportunity to let Nick Yacyshyn let loose on the drums and shred some blasts. But that\u2019s just the first 60 seconds! Then the song takes a left turn and goes somewhere completely different, and by the time you get to the end, you\u2019ll have no idea how you got there. It\u2019s a good window into \u2018Signal Fire,\u2019 which to our ears is the most varied and exploratory album we\u2019ve ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n
