THE OTHER To Release Fear Itself Album In June; UK Tour Dates Announced
April 28, 2015, 8 years ago
European horror punks, The Other, will be back with a bang in only a few weeks. After not having released an album in three long years, Fear Itself will be available via Steamhammer/SPV on June 22 on CD and double vinyl.
Singer Rod Usher tells of grand things to come: “I don’t want to speak of the cliché best album of the band’s history. But I do think that Fear Itself doesn’t have to hide behind its two successful predecessors... on the contrary!“
A first listen confirms that the singer is being unnecessarily humble and that the band have created a monster of an album that has been given the proper big sound by legendary producer Waldemar Sorychta (Moonspell, Tiamat, Sodom).
But it’s not just the number of hits that make Fear Itself such a great album, it`s also the diversity. The Other had a huge part in making the genre horror punk popular and have since pushed its boundaries. This time around they have mixed punk rock, metal and gothic more than ever but Rod Usher clearly states: “We still call it horror punk. Sure, our sound may be more diverse than on our first albums and we do have some more surprises waiting this time around, but the roots are still obvious.“
The band will play several festival and headliner shows in Germany. The first confirmed European dates can be found below, more to come.
