MICROWAVES + New Noise

“Thrash metal and no wave punk collide to bring forth a vision of cybernetic filth. We mean it, man.”
-John Roman, Microwaves

Stream the title  track from the new album, Via Weightlessness, on New Noise, here.

 Via Weightlessness will be available through Three One G Records on black vinyl as well as digitally via iTunes on September 28th. Preorder here.

 Their latest album, Via Weightlessness, tones down their previous effects-heavy approach, charging lean and unabated toward their dystopian vision. Kuzy’s guitar chimes through the mix with spindly atonal rnuns more akin to data streams spat from an outdated mainframe, alternately careening into chugging, crossover-thrash riffs. The Roman/Arlett rhythm section is much more than the sum of its parts: Beefheartian clamor served up with cyborg precision underpins overdriven bass, rumbling forth frenziedly as a DMT-dosed rhino. Kuzy, the paranoid town crier, and Arlett, the unhinged shrieker, deliver a twin-vocal assault covering most topics previously found in your local video rental shop’s cult/sci-fi section.
