KAL MARKS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM "WASTELAND BABY" + SHARE "INSECTS"

Posted on July 30th, 2024

Kal Marks just keep getting better. Exploding In Sound Records has had the pleasure of working with the band for over a decade now and they've never ceased to amaze us. Wasteland Baby however, the band's upcoming album, takes things to a whole new level, a masterpiece in the making that expands on My Name Is Hell in many ways, while also wandering into brilliant new territory all together. Due out on September 13th, the record is available for pre-order now, together with the album's first single "Insects" and the amazing music video directed by William Hart.

Speaking about the single, Carl Shane (guitar/vocals) shared:

"'Insects' was an excruciating song to get right. We were listening to a lot more danceable music at the time. Anything from Depeche Mode, Giorgio Moroder, “Rhythm Nation” by Janet Jackson, Cerone and DAF. We wanted to make something danceable and poppy but have it make sense in our world. We also loved the duality a lot of this music had with dark lyrical themes with upbeat propulsive rhythms. It’s a grim tune to tap your feet to. A lot of frustration in it."
