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 Doro Forever United – Limited Edition Metal / Classic Rock | Nuclear Blast | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 17th August 2018 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Doro Forever United – Limited Edition £25.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Nuclear Blast SKU: 0727361448417 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 17th August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cavalera Morbid Visions Metal / Classic Rock | Nuclear Blast | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th August 2023 £38.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cavalera Morbid Visions £38.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Nuclear Blast SKU: 4065629681586 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nazareth Move Me Metal / Classic Rock | Salvo / Union Square | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th August 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nazareth Move Me £25.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Salvo / Union Square SKU: 4050538801354 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th August 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blues Pills Holy Moly!
