For fans of Clutch, Down, Rage Against The Machine.
In 2022 I’LL BE DAMNED is
at it again. Armed with a constant flow of inspiration from a world
gone mad, the Danish band is pissed off about politics, religion, the
media and society in general. The new album, “Culture”, is more
well-structured than the prior albums regarding both riffing and overall
songwriting. And, with brilliant production value - courtesy of the
producer Tue Madsen and his Antfarm Studios - the Nordic five-piece has
finally reached the potential they promised in their previous two albums
and explosive live appearances.
With the addition of two new
members, Anders Gyldenøhr (ex-Grope, ex-Hatesphere) on drums and Mark
Damgaard on vocals, I’ll Be Damned has matured in a musical way that has
led to a more serious approach to the writing process. This is
showcased with an album - coming after “Road To Disorder” (2018) and
“I’ll Be Damned” (2017) - containing less humour, darker and more
aggressive riffs followed up by explosive vocals and lyrics that include
themes such as anger, desperation and hopelessness rather than sarcasm
and irony. However, the thematics of “Culture” still revolve around
hatred towards religion and politics, but also newer forms of extreme
cultural diversities.
Backed with influences such as Clutch,
Down and Rage Against The Machine, I’ll Be Damned fuses a potent yet
melodic and groovy punch in your face with lyrical sharpness and
unifying paroles – with an attitude.
“Culture” is out today on digital, CD and LP (transparent orange vinyl, limited to 300 units) via Mighty Music.
Lineup:
Mark Damgaard - vocals
Boris Tandrup - guitars
Kristian Sloth - lead guitars
Jens Lunde - bass
Anders Gyldenøhr - drums
