VOWWS announce new album ‘I’ll Fill Your House With An Army’

VOWWS have announced a new album!

Titled I’ll Fill Your House With An Army, the upcoming album from the  rising Australian by the way of Los Angeles-based industrial rock duo is the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Under The World, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Out Of Line Music.

Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist/guitarist Matt James shares, “this album is a reflection of the way the world feels to us, the big things and the little things, internal and external. We see and feel a lot of beauty in the broken things in life, in the world and in ourselves. The music we make is an expression of that. We took a long time to make this record – we already had 20 songs recorded before we asked Billy to work with us. It had already been so long since we released an album, and I was desperate to just get something out – but Rizz can’t lie to herself like I can, and she kept saying the record wasn’t what it needed to be yet. She was right – we realised we could make something more elevated than we thought, and we could do things we had spent years telling ourselves we wouldn’t or couldn’t do. In the process, we worked with Josh and James, two incredible people we never dreamed we’d have the privilege of working with. So we pulled ourselves out of our comfort zone, and it was pretty hard. We had to push through a lot of self-doubt, and there were times we weren’t sure if we could finish it. We lost ourselves completely in this record, and it became a part of us too. In the end, we made something that’s more purely VOWWS than anything we’ve done before, and we couldn’t be prouder of it.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, VOWWS have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; SHUDDER. The new song is the third single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Hurt You and Blood’s On Fire. The new song features guest appearances from A PERFECT CIRCLE drummer Josh Freese and KORN guitarist James ‘Munky’ Shaffer.

Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “the lyrics started with one phrase…I dreamt the line ‘I’ll get you into any trouble you want’ and the rest of it just flowed from that. It’s about the mischievous and destructive spirit inside all of us, it’s part of us, but it’s also separate and mysterious and uncontrollable. It’s always waiting to burst out and break everything we hold dear, everything that’s holding us in place. Deep down, I feel like we’re all kind of waiting in anticipation of that, the Shudder, the emotional earthquake that will set us free.”

Explaining how the collaboration came about James ‘Munky’ Shaffer says, “it was around the time I had reached out to Rizz to appear on my VENERA record when she asked me to play on SHUDDER. They were working with Billy Howerdel, who’s a friend, so it was kind of a perfect situation for me to jump into. Not to mention, I always wanted to play with Josh Freese. It ended up being a wonderful collaboration with a wonderful band.”
