The band’s first new studio outing in over a decade, GENGHIS TRON’s Hamilton Jordan and Michael Sochynsky are now joined by two new collaborators: vocalist Tony Wolski and Sumac/Baptists drummer Nick Yacyshyn. Together, the lineup perfects the unique mix of extreme rock and electronic music GENGHIS TRON has pioneered over their storied career. A melding of hypnotic rhythms and densely layered synth soundscapes, Dream Weapon was recorded and produced alongside long-time collaborator Kurt Ballou at God City Studio in Salem, Massachusetts, with additional production and engineering by Ben Chisolm (Chelsea Wolfe) and JJ Heath (Rain City Recorders). Lyrically and conceptually, Dream Weapon picks up where Board Up The House left off. “That album’s closing track, ‘Relief,’ was about how humans have become a burden to the planet, and how Earth will endure long after we’re gone,” Jordan explains. “There is sadness at the end, but some relief and beauty too. Dream Weapon is, loosely, an album length meditation on that theme.” From the ethereal, almost robotic vocal phrasings accompanying the industrial attack of “Pyrocene,” to the chaotic, pulse pounding drumming acrobatics and cyclical guitar patterns in the album’s triumphant title track, Dream Weapon is not just a nod to GENGHIS TRON’s celebrated past as a metal/progressive/experimental outfit. The new album redefines what these genres, sounds, and musical elements can achieve. Dream Weapon is a record that captures GENGHIS TRON at a matured, focused state; the ebbs and flows of the album are just as hard-hitting as they are dreamy, soaring, and meditative. Seasoned GENGHIS TRON listeners will find Dream Weapon to be both excitingly fresh and reassuringly familiar. “Though it sounds a bit different than our previous albums, I don’t think we approached Dream Weapon any differently than the others,” Jordan explains. “Michael and I take years to write and trade demos, with about 80% of our ideas landing on the cutting room floor. Once we have a rough song idea we both like, we write dozens of drafts of a song over months before we end up with a final demo.” “I think one difference in our approach for this album was that we had a strong sense from the outset of what kind of vibe we wanted to create,” Sochynsky adds. “Something more cohesive, meditative and hypnotic.” Through the album’s inventiveness and rejuvenated approach, Dream Weapon marks another bold step forward in the wildly creative career of GENGHIS TRON, and cements the band’s legacy of groundbreaking, genre-defying innovation. “a dizzy and warped combination of low-end thunder and warped, psychedelic synth work” – Stereogum “Like the best psychological thriller, there’s an unnerving yet gorgeous quality to Genghis Tron’s wonderful comeback record Dream Weapon” – New Noise Magazine “…ebbs and flows, offering explorations of post-hardcore, post-punk and even krautrock, as Genghis Tron dig into various influences.” – Exclaim! “hypnotizes listeners and provides some really great melodies” – Metal Injection “…sounds like Tangerine Dream, Chvrches, and Justin K. Broadrick all collaborated on a film score..” – Metal Sucks “… finds them going off into all kinds of hypnotic territory that feels entirely new for this band.” – Brooklyn Vegan “…Genghis Tron’s reputation for existing on the experimental fringes of heavy music were not only reasserted, they had evolved in a way that suggested the time away allowed their creative prowess to mature with age.” – Knotfest Artist Genghis Tron Genre Metal / Classic Rock Label Relapse Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Exit Perfect Mind Pyrocene Dream Weapon Desert Stairs Alone In The Heart Of The Light Ritual Circle Single Black Point Great Mother Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Metal / Classic Rock View Product Quick View Def Leppard Euphoria Metal / Classic Rock | EMI | 2LP Released 5th August 2022 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Def Leppard Euphoria £24.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: EMI SKU: 6731384 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 5th August 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mastodon Blood Mountain Metal / Classic Rock | Warner Bros | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th February 2015 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mastodon Blood Mountain £28.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Warner Bros SKU: 0093624929383 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th February 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View 68 Give One Take One Metal / Classic Rock | Cooking Vinyl | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th March 2021 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders 68 Give One Take One £18.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: COOKLP755 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View OHHMS The Fool Metal / Classic Rock | Holy Roar | 2LP Released 31st March 2017 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders OHHMS The Fool £24.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Holy Roar SKU: HRR174V Formats: 2LP Released Date: 31st March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Soulfly The Soul Remains Insane: The Studio Albums ‘1998 to ‘2004 Metal / Classic Rock | BMG | 180g, 8LP, Box Set Released 17th June 2022 £157.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Soulfly The Soul Remains Insane: The Studio Albums ‘1998 to ‘2004 £157.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: BMG SKU: 4050538745115 Formats: 180g, 8LP, Box Set Released Date: 17th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Riot Rock City Metal / Classic Rock | Metal Blade | 180g, 1LP Released 9th March 2015 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Riot Rock City £18.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Metal Blade SKU: 03984153681 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 9th March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Brant Bjork Europe ´16 Metal / Classic Rock | Napalm Records | 1LP Released 13th October 2017 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Brant Bjork Europe ´16 £22.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Napalm Records SKU: NPR743VINYL Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Outlanders Outlanders Metal / Classic Rock | Earmusic | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 23rd June 2023 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Outlanders Outlanders £29.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Earmusic SKU: 0218165EMU Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 23rd June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Record Setter I Owe You Nothing Metal / Classic Rock | Topshelf | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd September 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Record Setter I Owe You Nothing £23.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Topshelf SKU: LPTSR228C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Black Sabbath Vol. 4 Metal / Classic Rock | Rhino | 180g, 1LP Released 30th April 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Black Sabbath Vol. 4 £20.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Rhino SKU: ARHI2602 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 30th April 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Metal / Classic Rock Start again
