Emerging UK experimental black metallers VOICES are streaming “The Fucktrance,” a song from their forthcoming 2015 album, London. Recorded at Hackney Studios during the early months of this year, it is now available for pre-order in North America via Candlelight Records’ official webstore and Bandcamp page.
Commenting on the song, bassist Sam Loynes notes, “’The FuckTrance’ is a key song within the album. It’s a most primal and unforgiving journey. It was one of those difficult days at the rehearsal studio and we just channeled the most negative and horrific aspects of ourselves through the power of the blast.”
After the official dismantling of Akercocke in 2011, VOICES members Peter Benjamin (guitar/vocal), David Gray (drums) and Loynes assembled to create music that was at its core both disturbing and hypnotic. Signing with Candlelight Records in the early months of 2012, the band saw the release of their debut, From The Human Forest Create A Fugue Of Imaginary Rain, mid-June 2012 in Europe and several months later for North America.
London engulfs the listener with its harrowing sound for nearly an hour before it concludes. The band will perform selections from the album live in late November at a record release event at The Black Heart (23 Green Place,Camden, London). Touring is expected to begin in 2015.
