Paint It Black announce new album ‘Famine’
PAINT IT BLACK have announced a new album!
Titled Famine, it is the first new music from the Philadelphia hardcore band since their 2013 Invisible EP, and is scheduled to be released in November this year via the band’s new label home of Revelation Records. The album was recorded live to tape with Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden in Oakland, CA (DEAFHEAVEN, GOUGE AWAY).
Speaking about why now was the right time to make a record, vocalist Dan Yemin explains, “It’s important to make things that are real, thoughtful, and not disposable. We don’t just put out a new record because it’s time to put out a new record. We put out a record when we’ve got something to say. We’re a hardcore punk band, and the most important thing, more than velocity or volume, is authenticity. I’m shooting for something real because I want to feel something real and I want to yell it in people’s faces. I want to stir something in people, and I want to make music that I had to stir something in myself to make.”
Alongside the announcement of the album, the band have released a music video for its lead single and title track.
