Modern Rituals have announced the release of their new album, Cracking Of The Bulk, together with the first single Scummeth. The band used quieter tones from their last album, This Is The History, for their new music. Nevertheless, this new orientation is accompanied by an intense fury, giving it a distinct mix of darker and lighter aspects.
Scummeth, the first single, demonstrates the band's new creative perspective, beginning as an addictive alt-rock piece. The song starts to unravel gradually, eventually surrendering to a darker and fiercer style.
"Scummeth is our (anti)-Christ-like figure, who represents the freedom we can find in all the places no one thinks to look; an embodiment for the discovery of beauty where no one thought to look before” the band say. "Whether that is on the outskirts of town during a long, wet summer evening, with only the pigeons for company, or a lonesome stomp past abandoned factories and through soaking woods. It’s about discovering your personal freedom and relishing it, using it to find the forms of beauty that only have meaning for you."
Cracking Of The Bulk will be out on September 30th, 2022 via God Unknown Records.
