Aussie favourites Regurgitator have announced their ninth album, Headroxx, due out August 1.
The album was revealed by a gloriously rambling post from the band, via Valve Records.
“I’d been having trouble sleeping for a few days. Some kind of pressure in my head seemed to be building. It felt like it was filled with bread that was slowly expanding as it soaked up the surrounding fluids. No doctor I went to could give me any answers. They all prescribed pain killers in ever increasing potency. To little avail.
“I knew it I was once again bashing my head up against a computer screen. I smashed it with such force that finally the invaders fell out, along with some small, relatively unimportant bits of my brain. The pain abated almost immediately.
“I carefully collected the tiny lyrical maggots in a jar, poked some holes in the lid and put it under my pillow to hide them from my wife and keep them warm while I slept. I fell into a deep slumber punctuated by the strangest dreams. When I awoke the jar was empty and from the pendant light on my ceiling, hanging by its twisted claw, this album gently swayed, humming a low, comforting drone at me.”
In any case, it’s probably the most inventive way of detailing an album’s release we’ve seen this year.
Headroxx was recorded across multiple studios across Australia and mastered in Chicago by Margaret Luthar. It comes in light of their latest releases ‘Don’t Stress’ and ‘Light Me On Fire’ as well as 2015’s live album, Nothing Less Than Cheap Imitations
