Without Waves announce new album ‘Comedian’

WITHOUT WAVES have announced a new album!

Titled Comedian, the upcoming album from the Chicago-based progressive metal band is the follow-up to 2017’s Lunar and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Prosthetic Records.

The upcoming album was self-produced alongside Rollin Weary, who also mixed the record, before it was mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege in Portland, OR. Intending to embrace the multiplicity of ways to interpret the label ‘progressive’, the band have created an album that would nestle comfortably in the record collections of fans of both THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLANDEVIN TOWNSEND, GOJIRA and PORCUPINE TREE.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Good Grief. Speaking about the new song, the band says, Good Grief is a loose socio-political commentary on the endless stream of information we are all subjected to; the toxic soapbox journalism, the hyperbolic punditry and sensationalism…all for what? Someone in power can tweet something and it can shift global markets, cause geo-political uproar, which ultimately affects normal people at a micro level. Take the old adage made famous by Stan Lee: “With great power comes great responsibility.” It seems as though many in power can’t or won’t grasp this simple pearl of wisdom, and we’re all worse off for it.”
