SCORPION MILK have announced a brand new album!
Titled Slime Of The Times, the upcoming debut album from the apocalyptic post-punk project led by BEASTMILK/GRAVE PLEASURES‘ Mat McNerney is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Peaceville Records.
The album was produced by McNerney and recorded at Pine Hill Studio in Finland, with mixing by Wayne Adams at Bear Bites Horse, London. Mastering was completed at Abbey Road Studios in London. The album features artwork by Danu Bharatu, known for his work with UNIFORM, WOLFBRIGADE, and PORTRAYAL OF GUILT.
Joining McNerney on the album is a whole host of cross-scene collaborators, featuring Tor Sjödén (VIAGRA BOYS) on drums, Nate Newton (CONVERGE, CAVE IN) on bass guitar, as well as special guest appearances from KILLING JOKE’s Big Paul Ferguson, and Will Gould of CREEPER, who provides lead vocals on the track She Wolf of London.
To coincide with the album announcement, the band have released a new music video for the track Another Day Another Abyss. The new song is the first single to be released from the upcoming album.
Speaking about the new song, McNerney says, “it is about trying to stay upright under the daily flood of catastrophe, the headlines, the numbness, the helplessness. But there’s a double edge to it: the only way to get through the abyss is to become it. To move through the darkness, you have to carry some of it inside you.”
Speaking about the video, he adds, “I used AI to create the video because we’re living inside the very dystopia we fear the most. The song deals with the psychological weight of modern catastrophe, and AI as both a tool and a threat, mirrors that perfectly. A mirror can be humorous but also diabolical. It’s an aesthetic artistic choice, but also a commentary: our nightmares are now automated.”
