Oxymorrons announce debut album ‘Melanin Punk’
OXYMORRONS have announced their debut album!
Titled Melanin Punk, the upcoming album from the New York City-based hip-hop fusion rock band is their debut full-length album and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Mascot Records.
Speaking about the upcoming debut album, the band says, “it’s about community, not division. OXYMORRONS is for us, but the project represents the people and what brings us together. Our whole human existence is about connection. It’s everyone in the band’s uniqueness that makes us the crazy melting of sound and that’s a great analogy to how we feel about the world as a whole.”
Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming debut album; Graveyard Words. The new song is the third song to be released from the upcoming debut, following on from Enemy and Last Call.
Speaking about the new song, the band says, “it’s about speaking with intentions. Words carry weight and you can manifest positivity but also negativity with the things you say – on the extreme side of the spectrum it could cost you your life. It’s about the laws of attraction through words. The chorus sounds like a threat coming from an individual – like ‘yo watch yer mouth or I’ll fuck you up’ – but it was really written from the perspective of the universe/karma warning us humans. A small example is we try not to use the word ‘hate’ in our vocabulary when describing something we don’t like. We’re not always successful, but just trying to remove that word so that we don’t attract hatred into our life and leave that portal open for hate to come through. You attract what you project, and we project positivity.”
