TALLAH have announced a new album!
Titled Primeval: Obsession // Detachment, the upcoming album from the Pennsylvania-based nu-core band is the follow-up to 2022’s The Generation Of Danger, which is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Earache Records.
Tracked live in Michigan with longtime producer Josh Schroeder, the record intends to capture TALLAH in their purest, most unhinged form. No click. No edits. No polish. Just instinct and execution. It also sees founding member, Max Portnoy, making a major creative shift from drums to bass and Justin recording the vocals for the whole album in one, continuous take.
Speaking about the upcoming album, bassist Max Portnoy shares, “for me, this album is TALLAH finding our voice. During the writing process, no boxes were in place. No rules were set. Whatever felt uniquely us, that was what made the cut. I’m not sure how to even label this record’s sound beyond TALLAH. It’s weird. It’s experimental. It’s driving, and energetic. It’s raw. We recorded live, every instrument at the same time, with no click. That’s how we play shows, so why would we record differently? This album also marks my first recording dedicated to bass. I translated my drum knowledge to a new instrument and it was a huge creative breath of fresh air for me.”
Vocalist Justin Bonitz adds, “I practiced for months and was able to record the entire album in one huge, continuous take with no edits or redos or anything! And I was recovering from pneumonia! Nobody is gonna believe me! It was honestly the highlight of my entire vocal career. I was unsure if I could pull it off, but I went into the booth, grabbed an SM57, turned off the lights, and whatever happened happened. I think it feels more intimate and naked with all the flaws and imperfections, which is perfect for the raw, organic sound of this album.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, TALLAH have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; What We Know.
Speaking about the new song, Portnoy shares, “the first song that was written for the album, and easily my #1 TALLAH song to date. The amount of experimentation on this track paved the road for the tone of the whole record. From performing the first half of the song on acoustic guitars, to layering trap-metal 808’s over a string quartet with dissonant plucks in the chorus, to a trading guitar solo with a talkbox and a slide, you can find so many fun tools we incorporated, without it feeling disjointed. To have all that experimentation, in a driving and energetic track with a massive chorus, made for my favorite piece of work yet. It was a no-brainer to start the record with this one.”
