Connecticut-based sludge weirdos When the Deadbolt Breaks will have fun their twentieth anniversary as a band with the discharge of their seventh album, In The Glow Of The Vatican Hearth. Previous the discharge is new tune “Burning Zozobra,” which showcases When the Deadbolt Breaks’ uncanny means to steadiness excessive and avant-garde of their songwriting and efficiency.
Alternating between the abrasive vocals of frontman and guitarist Aaron Lewis (no, not that Aaron Lewis) and the alluring vocals of singer Amber Leigh on prime of bluesy sludge riffs, When the Deadbolt Breaks sound uniquely like themselves.
“Lately, we realized a few pageant that dates to the early Twenties and takes place in Santa Fe the place they set a large marionette on hearth, permitting gloom and disappointment to be dispelled for an additional yr,” Lewis tells Decibel. “The historical past behind this custom actually resonated with us in some ways. The music itself was primarily written by our bassist Steve [Wieda], and as soon as the music got here collectively, the theme of ‘Burning Zozobra’ simply appeared to work as an ideal pairing.”
Within the Glow of the Vatican Hearth is out later this month on Argonauta Data.
