The Hyena Kill announce new album ‘A Disconnect’
THE HYENA KILL have announced a new album!
Titled A Disconnect, the upcoming album from the Manchester-based band sees the band introduce two new members, Sam Jones (guitar/synths) and Charlie Seisay (bass), expanding from a duo to a ferocious-sounding four-piece. The new album will be released in March next year, via APF Records.
The upcoming album intends to be a bleak, intense offering that attempts to find reconciliation of personal trauma and pain, creating a distinctive area where spaciousness can be heavy and contact is always uncomfortable.
Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist/guitarist Steven Dobb says, “the bulk of material was written during a very low point in my life, and as a result this album fell into place with a sense of claustrophobia and finality, of being trapped in a hospital bed, linked up to life support, unable to regain your own agency and escape the situation you find yourself in. Of being bound by the traumas of the past that you’re unable to cast away, and ultimately feeling suffocated by them. Wanting to escape and be absolutely anywhere – or anyone – else. These are lyrics that deal with and focus on uncomfortable subjects that were dominating my life at the time of writing. The words and movements in this record are mostly without resolution. There are no happy endings or moments of clarity.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; Bleached. Speaking about the new song, Dobb says, “this is one of my favourite tracks on the album. It was written in about half an hour, a pure ‘lightning in a bottle moment’. Simple, aggressive and straight to the point, it’s a song about pure obsession. I’ve always thought about it like a daydream of sorts – a fantasy of words you would never say out loud, or actions that you would never perform but through a lens of obsession and self-destruction. Really looking forward to playing this one live.”
