Bass Drum Of Death - Say I Won't

Facts The point of an odyssey is to return home changed-still the same person, but deepened somehow, wiser and better, wearing your traveling scars proudly. Bass Drum of Death's new album Say I Won't is the end result of a journey that took singer and bandleader John Barrett from a small town in Mississippi and sent him across the world and back home again. The music still rips, with blown-out guitars and drums that sound like bombs going off, and the melodies are catchier than ever, hollered in Barrett's trademark yelp. But the music hits differently now, more at peace with itself, propelled by a new swagger. Say I Won't is the record of a veteran band finding it's stride and leaning into it, stripping back the excess and finding the raw core of their sound.
