Hardcore punk outfit Militarie Gun have a deluxe edition of their latest album “God Save The Gun” lined up for an August 07th release on Loma Vista Recordings. Three additional tracks will appear on this record, all of which are b-sides from the album’s original studio sessions. The band’s vocalist Ian Shelton elaborated:
“Everything in ‘God Save The Gun’ became so focused on the internal, that when it came to fitting these songs in, it felt like they had stepped outside of that perspective. In my head these songs started to form into the feeling of finally coming to after being so caught up in your own head, and then realizing the rest of the world is still out there and you haven’t been actively participating.”
A new collaboration with Mannequinn Pussy, “World’s Always Burning“, leads this new trio of tracks and can be streamed below. Ardent fans of the band may have heard the song prior however, as it has made it into the band’s setlist multiple times. Shelton said of it:
“I can’t say whether or not the world is actually ending but it certainly feels like the sense of community in the world is all but dead. I wanted to write about all the things we’re tricked into arguing about so politicians and technocratic fascists can get away with whatever they want. My neighbor and I might not agree on everything but at least I know they’re not the one taking people’s rights away and destroying the world.”
The other new additions to the record include, “3 AM” and “I’ve Said Too Much“, the latter of which features a guest spot from Dazy. Below you can also watch a recently released live performance the band recorded for Elevator Music.
