Inter Arma announce new album ‘Garbers Days Revisited’

INTER ARMA have announced a new album!

The new album, titled Garbers Days Revisited, follows last year’s stunning Sulphur English and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Relapse Records.

The upcoming album is a covers record, recorded in between tours in support of Sulphur English. The album, named after the band’s former practice space, was once again tracked at Dark Art Audio in Madison, TN. The band show off their wide array of influences on the album, tackling covers by NINE INCH NAILS, PRINCE, CRO-MAGS, and more. Garbers Days Revisited sees INTER ARMA redefining the very aspects of the music that inspired and influenced them from their very beginnings.

“Hunter Thompson used to punch out pages of Ernest Hemingway on his typewriter just to get the feeling of what it was like to write that way,” drummer T.J. Childers comments. “The same can be said for anyone learning a great cover song: there’s a lot to be deduced from the information there. Actually learning the songs can lead to inspirational, new musical ideas. Covers have been an integral part of INTER ARMA since the beginning of the band and some of these songs have a direct lineage while others are a little more… obscure. As timing would have it, we hope this provides a bit of an escape for listeners, given the surreal circumstances we’re in at the moment, because after all, great art should provide an escape which is part of why we chose to do this: sometimes you just wanna be runnin’ down a dream…”

Alongside the announcement of the new covers album, the band have shared the first song from the upcoming release; their cover of Neil Young‘s Southern Man. Speaking about the cover, the band says, “INTER ARMA as a whole are massive Neil Young fans. Southern Man has been a staple of our live set for over a decade and we finally got around to putting it to tape. We hope you enjoy our spin on this timeless and still extremely relevant song.”
