Something Ominous will be released on the 15th September
(InsideOutMusic) / Touring Europe with SOEN in September/October.
Album pre-order begins today!
French/Irish alternative rock-metal outfit MOLYBARON,
known for their energetic, hard-hitting sound, will release their new
album Something Ominous on
September 15th on InsideOutMusic/Sony Music. The announcement
of the new album comes following the success of the recent single and video
“Something Ominous.”
Over the course of two subtly radical records, 2017’s
self-titled debut and 2021’s acclaimed The
Mutiny, this eclectic quartet have casually bent and broken all the usual
rules of modern heaviness.
In 2023, they return with their third and most
fervently diverse record to date, Something
Ominous: further evidence that MOLYBARON are operating in a field of
precisely one.
When MOLYBARON released The Mutiny in 2021, the world was still reeling
from the effects of a global pandemic. Nonetheless, the album struck its mark
with ease, garnering countless glowing reviews and comparisons to the likes of
System Of A Down, Tool and Muse. Two years on, Something Ominous reveals a band that have sharpened
their focus and found their groove. Comprising ten succinct and characterful
songs, which range from thunderous acts of aggression to noirish, mutant
balladry, MOLYBARON’s third full-length is invigorating and immersive in equal
measure.
“I
don’t think our sound can be defined by one genre,” says
guitarist/vocalist Gary Kelly .“It’s certainly not by design. I write and
produce all the music in the
band, but I’m strange - I never really listen to music. I have no idea what’s
hot or what’s not these days. I
suppose this makes it easier for me to create songs, I’m not trying to mirror
any one style, I just write as it comes to me, probably
based on what I hear floating in the ether; in the cinema, on the TV, on the
elevator, it really doesn’t matter!”
MOLYBARON are also pleased to share the second single
from the album.
You can check out the lyric video for “Breakdown”
here:
"Breakdown" is a heavy, pop-tinged track,
with lyrics conveying the struggle of a mind on the edge of collapse, capturing
a sense of isolation, confusion, and vulnerability that accompanies these dark
moments. A rousing, emotional mix of melodies, driven by aggressive guitar
riffs, crushing bass, and electronic synth-scapes, "Breakdown" is
invigorating and immersive in equal measure.
