Massive Wagons announce new album ‘Earth To Grace’
MASSIVE WAGONS have announced a new album!
Titled Earth To Grace, the upcoming album from the British hard rock band is the follow-up to 2022’s TRIGGERED!, and is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Earache Records.
The upcoming album explores the band’s wide influences have to offer them creatively – be it music, TV, film, or the world they exist in. Earth To Grace found diverse inspiration in the sad passing of Sinéad O’Connor, the unsettling movie Sound Of Freedom, the ‘brutal’ TikTok algorithm, and themes to 80s TV shows like Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors and Cities Of Gold.
Speaking about the upcoming album, frontman Barry ‘Baz’ Mills says, “people ask after every album is written and recorded, ‘is this your best one yet?’ It’s a question I don’t like answering to be honest, I can’t speak for the listener. All I can say, and it’s the honest truth, is that we could not be happier with what we’ve created. We took a brave step to work with a new producer, but Matt was someone we felt brought a completely fresh production style to the table.
I believe we have some of our best music to date on Earth To Grace, we are super proud of this album. Matt‘s input on melodies and arrangement was truly invaluable, and Adam‘s songwriting has just vanished off the scale, I think. Everyone in the band really knuckled down writing these songs and I genuinely think it shows.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, MASSIVE WAGONS have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Missing On TV.
Speaking about the new song, Mills says, “the song’s about the government, all sides just milking the rest of us to fund their lifestyle. They have zero shame, zero accountability, and zero remorse about stamping all over the common man. We are washed away out to sea, missing on TV. It’s an age-old message, but more relevant now than in a long, long time.”
The band teamed up with producer Matt O’Grady [YOU ME AT SIX, ARCHITECTS, DON BROCO]. Mills continues, “this track is in all of our Top 3 album songs – the chorus is huge! It was a real pleasure working on this in detail with Matt – everyone put in a shift and made this one a WAGONS classic.”
The song’s accompanying music video was shot with Shaun Hodson of Loki Films [VOLBEAT, SLEEP TOKEN] at Sitcom Soldiers Studios.
