Wizard Rifle release new song ‘Rocket To Hell’

WIZARD RIFLE have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Rocket To Hell, is taken from the Portland, OR noisy metal duo’s upcoming new self-titled album which is scheduled to be released in August this year.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “this sonic stew encompasses all the usual elements of WIZARD RIFLE: gut-punching, down-tuned sludge punk riffs interwoven with psychedelic overtones and triumphant builds with vocal harmonies and dual yells. Lyrically the song is much like a hangover from a thousand-year orgy of global greed. It deals with the shortcomings of mankind and the individual in the face of the apocalyptic consequences of its self-created extinction. Take the ride; strap in and blast off to this seven-minute rager.”

The band emerged from the metal groundswell of Portland Oregon in 2009 bent on annihilating the complacency of genre pigeonholes and throwback tropes. Their elusive sound contorts and leaps from sludgy and psychedelic, to thrash, noise and beyond, accented by vocal harmonies and shouts. Their two full length releases, 2014’s Here in the Deadlights and 2012’s Speak Loud Say Nothing have drawn great praise and kept critics and fans on their toes. Their upcoming self-titled LP, due out this summer via Svart Records, pushes the boundaries even further with the aid of metal mix guru Billy Anderson at the helm of the studio.

Wizard Rifle is set for release on August 30th via Svart Records.
