Powerman 5000 To Release New Album On Aug. 1

DRT recording artist Powerman 5000 will release their much anticipated new album, "Destroy What You Enjoy," on August 1.

With a new label and a new line up, "Destroy What You Enjoy" promises to be the most exciting PM5K release to date. The album was produced by Mudrock (Avenged Sevenfold, Godsmack), who also co-produced the band’s major label debut, Mega!! Kung Fu Radio, and was recorded at the Hobby Shop in Eagle Rock, CA. The album was mixed by Dave Schiffman (Audioslave, Johnny Cash, System of a Down).

"Destroy What You Enjoy" resonates with a crunch that brings the band back to their indie roots. Some of the album’s stand-out tracks include the anthemic first single, “Wild World,” as well as the trash-punk inspired “Return To The City Of The Dead,” and "Enemies”. “The sound that you hear on 'Destroy What You Enjoy', is the sound of a real rock 'n roll band,” comments vocalist Spider. “The drums aren't perfect, the guitars feedback and the vocals don't always find the right note. In other words, it's the best record we've ever made.”

Powerman 5000’s line up has also evolved to match their new album’s sound with the addition of guitarists Terry Corso and Johnny Heatley to the rhythm section of drummer Adrian Ost, bassist Siggy Siursen.

Listen for “Wild World” to hit radio June 19, followed by a national tour beginning July 7.

Holy sh**...

I thought this band broke up.. like 5 times.

I'm interested in hearing their new stuff, but my hopes are low.

yeah, not high hopes, but I don't mind Powerman5K. Unless this turns out to b a randomly REALLY good album, I don't think I'll bother, personally.

Hmmm, seems like Spider wants a grittier sound. Not so nice and clean as say "Transform".

We'll see how it all plays out. Thus far I've had some minor problems with every album but "Tonight The Stars Revolt". Like "True Force" was insanely short, "Mega..." was too rappy, "Anyone For Doomsday?" was also too short, and on "Transform" they switched to a R&R style.

I'll still probably check out the record though.
