Genghis Tron announce new album ‘Dream Weapon’

GENGHIS TRON have announced a new album!

Titled Dream Weapon, the upcoming album from the American experimental metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2008’s Board Up The House and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Relapse Records.

The upcoming album was recorded and produced alongside long-time collaborator Kurt Ballou at God City Studio in Salem, Massachusetts, with additional production and engineering by Ben Chisolm [CHELSEA WOLFE], JJ Heath [Rain City Recorders] and was mastered by Heba Kadry.

Lyrically and conceptually, Dream Weapon picks up where Board Up The House left off. “That album’s closing track, Relief, was about how humans have become a burden to the planet, and how Earth will endure long after we’re gone,” guitarist Hamilton Jordan explains. “There is sadness at the end, but some relief – and beauty- too. Dream Weapon is, loosely, an album-length meditation on that theme. Though it sounds a bit different than our previous albums, I don’t think we approached Dream Weapon any differently than the others. Michael and I take years to write and trade demos, with about 80% of our ideas landing on the cutting-room floor. Once we have a rough song idea we both like, we write dozens of drafts of a song over months before we end up with a final demo.”

“I think one difference in our approach for this album was that we had a strong sense from the outset of what kind of vibe we wanted to create,” Keyboardist/programmer Sochynsky adds. “Something more cohesive, meditative and hypnotic.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video from their upcoming album; the title-track Dream Weapon.
