Pist announce new album ‘Hailz’

PIST have announced a new album!

Titled Hailz, the upcoming album from the UK riff juggernauts is scheduled to be released in November this year. As with their debut EP and previous album, Hailz was recorded with Chris Fielding (CONAN, WITCHSORROW, MAMMOTH WEED WIZARD BASTARD), this time over at Foel Studio.

The upcoming album from the Bury, Lancashire based quartet follow their recent Spring UK tour alongside ORANGE GOBLIN with seven tracks that see them taking a step away from the stoner-doom label they were tagged with. Vocalist David Rowlands says, “myself and John (guitarist) had loads of ideas for riffs and basic structures however when we entered the jam room with these ideas and the four of us put our heads together it started growing and growing. I feel this record reflects more of our personal influences from shit like DARKTHRONE to ELDER, ORANGE GOBLIN to UADA. Musically I feel it’s a step away from the ‘stoner doom’ label we found ourselves with, something we’ve never considered ourselves to be, in our eyes we’re a heavy metal, rock n roll band who listen to a fair bit of black metal and punk. This is really reflecting in the songs on this record from ferocious black metal kicking your head in to chilled psyched out bits that make you feel like you’re fucking floating or something.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have shared the first single from the upcoming album; titled Mind Rotter. Speaking about the new song, David adds, “lyrically it’s about dealing with my utter contempt of the modern world. Hitting back at the absolute shite we’re fed on a daily basis and not accepting what the media, the government and people in positions of power tell us is the truth.”
