The USA based post-punk sludge act Negative 13 has released its newest single, titled "Pain Prism". The song comes from the band's forthcoming new album, Mourning Asteri, due to be out on 8 July on digital, CD, cassette, and vinyl formats.
Guitarist Edward Banchs comments on the song: "We love this song. Still in line with (the album's first single) 'My Scars Are Showing Again', but it takes our sound to another level. This was the third song we wrote for the album and one that really pushed us creatively. Once we walked out of the practice space with this one we knew that we were ready to turn the corner on our past".
Nearly 20 years after the release of its self-titled debut, Negative 13 is set to return with Mourning Asteri. The long-awaited second full-length from these veterans of the Pittsburgh, PA scene bears the mark of a band born anew. Retaining the groove-laden and abrasive fury from their early work, Mourning Asteri takes the band's infusion of stoner, sludge, and doom-core to a new level.
Formed in 1999, Negative 13 (once known as Negative Theory), has continued to have a bit of an identity crisis. Describing its sound as post-punk infested stoner/sludge/doom-core, Negative 13 carries a curiosity that has allowed the band to reform after a hiatus with a wide-open palette of taste that reflects their artistic vision.
Originally disbanding in 2003 after releasing its self-titled debut album, the members never stopped communicating the idea of returning to the stage after going their separate ways - reuniting, however, for several shows in 2008 and 2009. After years apart, 2021 proved to be the year that things fell back into place for Negative 13, with original members drummer Chip Reynolds, vocalist Scott Fisher, and guitarist Edward Banchs reforming with the intention of fulfilling their original vision - writing albums that would leave a footprint in the metal world. With the 2021 addition of bassist Mary Bielich, the band worked on completing its second album, Mourning Asteri, in late 2021, further elevating its sound to new heights.
