The Almighty Norma Jean are back on Solid State Records and will be releasing their seventh album on September 9th, 2016. The crushing first single ‘1,000,000 Watts’ recently premiered via NPR. The song can be streamed in the soundcloud player below.
“Polar Similar” proves that Norma Jean has never been afraid to take risks sonically and lyrically. NPR took note of this on the new track ‘1,000,000 Watts,’ saying that the song “grooves and lashes out wildly like a caged animal, but more than ever Norma Jean colors the chaos with brooding hues. Stomping riffs alternate with angular and delayed guitar melodies in a grey haze, as Cory Brandan builds his moody croons into raging screams.”
The band is currently on tour in Europe, the remaining dates can be found below.
Pre-Orders for “Polar Similar” are available now, with some incredible bundles available, including dual-colored double LP vinyl.
