The USA-based dark-punk trio Tension Span has announced that its debut full-length, The Future Died Yesterday, will be out on 22 September.
Tension Span unites Noah Landis (Neurosis, Christ On Parade), Geoff Evans (Asunder), and Matt Parrillo (Dystopia, Kicker). Using the musical language of their past, the dark punk of their early acts, Tension Span brings a new band and a new album to Neurot Recordings that sounds both urgent and personal, speaking truth to the bleak realities of today's sociopolitical collapse and the angst and identity crisis it brings. Somehow within the fabric of these themes of stress, fear and rage, there is a feeling of underlying hope, that there is something beautiful in the struggle.
Recorded during the isolation of Covid, the trio crafted The Future Died Yesterday, an album that sounds both varied and cohesive, combining musical and emotional heaviness with melody, samples, and synth. Sonically unique and riveting, The Future Died Yesterday sees the band ripping through thirteen doomed anthems. The album was recorded by Tension Span, mixed by Noah Landis, mastered by Bob Weston and Greg Obis at Chicago Mastering Service, and completed with artwork by Neil Grimmer, John Yates, and Matt Parrillo.
Infusing classic elements of punk and post-punk, fans of Killing Joke, New Model Army, T.S.O.L., Subhumans, Conflict, Rudimentary Peni, and The Wraith will be instantaneously addicted to Tension Span's dire urgency and infectious hooks.
Ultimately, making meaning out of struggle is a profound act of hope. It is with this spirit and inspiration that Tension Span offers you a collection of twelve songs rooted in the past, caught in the present storm, and yearning toward a new day. The past is a story we experienced together, and the future remains unwritten.
Two songs of the upcoming full-length have already been released, and you will find them right below. Link
