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 Deafheaven 10 Years Gone Metal / Classic Rock | Sargent House | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 4th December 2020 £24.00 - £28.00 Select options Reserve View Reservations Deafheaven 10 Years Gone £24.00 - £28.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Sargent House Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 4th December 2020 Reserve View Reservations Read More Select options On Sale View Product Quick View Ian Gillan Ian Gillan & The Javelins Metal / Classic Rock | Ear Music | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 29th August 2018 £12.99 £22.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Ian Gillan Ian Gillan & The Javelins £12.99 £22.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Ear Music SKU: 0213164EMU Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 29th August 2018 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Alice Cooper Dirty Diamonds Metal / Classic Rock | Ear Music | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 18th September 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alice Cooper Dirty Diamonds £20.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Ear Music SKU: 0214319EMX Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 18th September 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dog Eat Dog Play Games Metal / Classic Rock | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 25th February 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dog Eat Dog Play Games £25.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP3005 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 25th February 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View UFO Strangers In The Night (2020 Remaster) Metal / Classic Rock | Chrysalis | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 20th November 2020 £23.00 Select options UFO Strangers In The Night (2020 Remaster) £23.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Chrysalis Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 20th November 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Megadeth Warheads On Foreheads Metal / Classic Rock | UMC | 4LP Released 22nd March 2019 £72.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Megadeth Warheads On Foreheads £72.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: UMC SKU: 7703355 Formats: 4LP Released Date: 22nd March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Deep Purple Paris 1975 Metal / Classic Rock | Ear Music | 3LP Released 20th October 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Deep Purple Paris 1975 £20.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Ear Music SKU: 0209764ERE Formats: 3LP Released Date: 20th October 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Biohazard Urban Discipline – 30th Anniversary Edition Metal / Classic Rock | Warner Music | 2LP Released 18th February 2022 £42.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Biohazard Urban Discipline – 30th Anniversary Edition £42.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Warner Music SKU: 0081227880170 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 18th February 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Black Sabbath Live Evil (2023 Remaster) – Super Deluxe Boxset Metal / Classic Rock | BMG | 4LP, Box Set Released 2nd June 2023 £122.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Black Sabbath Live Evil (2023 Remaster) – Super Deluxe Boxset £122.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: BMG SKU: 4050538871623 Formats: 4LP, Box Set Released Date: 2nd June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Opeth Orchid Metal / Classic Rock | Candlelight | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th May 2023 £34.00 Select options Opeth Orchid £34.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Candlelight Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th May 2023 Read More Select options See more in Metal / Classic Rock Start again
