Limb announce new album ‘Saboteurs of the Sun’

LIMB have announced a brand new album!

The album, titled Saboteurs of the Sun, is the London band’s third album and is scheduled for release in May. Speaking about the album, which was produced by Russ Russell (NAPALM DEATH, AT THE GATES), vocalist Rob Hoey says, “we’re not a band that wants to get complacent. For our third record, with the wider world around continuing to fall apart, we wanted to address big, grand themes. And to do that, we had to broaden our sonic palette.”

The band have also released the first track from the album, titled Wych Elm. Commenting on the track, Rob Hoey says, “in 1943, a woman’s dead body was found stuffed inside the hollow trunk of a wych elm tree in the West Midlands. No-one knows who she was. Perhaps she was a Nazi spy, perhaps a local prostitute, perhaps the victim of an occult killing – after all, her severed hand was found elsewhere, consistent with the ‘Hand of Glory’ ritual. The mystery remains very much alive through the enigmatic reappearance of graffiti asking, “Who put Bella in the wych elm?” We still want to know.”
