‘Nü-core’ outfit Tallah have announced a September 09th release date for their sophomore outing “The Generation Of Danger“. That concept album was produced by Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, King 810) and will arrive through Earache Records.
A music video for the record’s first single “Telescope” was revealed today and arrived with a game which fans can poke around on to uncover more about the universe the band have been concocted for this release. You can find that game at thegenerationofdanger.com.
The group’s frontman Justin Bonitz commented of the record:
‘The Generation Of Danger’ is a completely new and fresh concept for us, both lyrically and instrumentally. We wanted to take what made ‘Matriphagy’ so good and jack it up to 150%. The tracks are monstrous, daunting, and the story the music tells dives into the idea of people hiding what they truly desire until someone else comes along and forces it to surface. It’s a concept album about a genius scientist who gets fed up with being swept under the rug. After the multi-billion-dollar corporation that employs him takes credit for his latest, award-winning invention, he snaps and retaliates against them by forcing them to take part in the greatest experiment the world of science has ever seen.”
Drummer Max Portnoy (also of Code Orange) had the following to say about the first single:
“‘Telescope‘ is one of fastest and most chaotic songs on ‘The Generation Of Danger‘. It was the first song I started working on for the record and it went through hundreds of changes. It’s one of my top picks from the album with the song having 2 different choruses. One being a melodic one and one with a more rap type of vibe. The song has a lot to offer.”
He also chimed in on the accompanying game, offering:
“The TGOD game was something I’ve been wanting to do since we started thinking of unique ways to present this album. It was an idea I hadn’t seen anyone do before and it’s the perfect way of setting up the album’s concept while offering loads of easter eggs and teasers. You’re essentially placed directly into the story and I feel it’s the most immersive thing we’ve ever done. I’m super proud of how it turned out.”
