Pound Of Flesh Releases New Album "Pills"

Chicago's Pound Of Flesh is pleased to announce the release of latest album "Pills" via WuLi Records. Listen to new music from "Pills" below.

Mixing an intense and raw electronic sound with heavy, clean production, "Pills" follows 2012’s singular counterpart "Pill." Recorded at Paragon and Drakeraven studios, the album was produced by POF vocalist and lead programmer Darrell James (formerly of Ministry and Revolting Cocks) and keyboardist Steven McIntosh, and was mastered by Doug McBride at Gravity Studios in Chicago.

“I'm very proud of Pills, and it's the first POF album recorded with a full band,” states Darrell James. “We’ve been working together for over two years with almost the same line-up and I couldn't have asked for better people and such great musicians to work with. This is what prompted a new set of recordings that appears on Pills—the difference between what was originally written and performed by me and the energy, depth, and drive of the band.”

“POF has always taken an in-your-face approach but with a sense of humor to the music, and Pills is no exception,” adds James. “There have always been aspects of POF that are industrial, but we’ve avoided being pinned into that category. The tracks on Pills have a broad range of influences with a lot of driving beats and dance aspects that allow us to bring energy to the tracks in our own way without losing the melodic elements.”

Pound Of Flesh was formed in the late 90’s, and released its first full-length record in 2000, entitled "Red & Black." While touring regionally in support of the album, frontman Darrell James was introduced to the legendary Al Jourgenson of Ministry. James was invited by Jourgenson to play keyboards during Ministry’s 2003 “Fornicatour.” Darrell agreed, and was subsequently asked to stay on for their 2004 “Evil Doer” tour.
