Pist Announce New Album on APF Records
Riff juggernaut Pist will release new album ‘Hailz’ on 8th November through APF Records. The Bury, Lancashire based quartet follow their recent spring UK tour alongside Orange Goblin with 7 tracks that see them taking a step away from the stoner-doom label they were tagged with.
Vocalist David Rowlands explains,
"Myself and John (guitarist) had loads of ideas for riffs and basic structures however when we entered the jam room with these ideas and the four of us put our heads together it started growing and growing. I feel this record reflects more of our personal influences from shit like Darkthrone to Elder, Orange Goblin to Uada. Musically I feel it's a step away from the 'stoner doom' label we found ourselves with, something we've never considered ourselves to be, in our eyes we're a heavy metal, rock n roll band who listen to a fair bit of Black Metal and Punk. This is really reflecting in the songs on this record from ferocious black metal kicking your head in to chilled psyched out bits that make you feel like you're fucking floating or something."
‘Mind Rotter’ is the 1st single to be shared from the album with David adding,
'Lyrically it’s about dealing with my utter contempt of the modern world. Hitting back at the absolute shite we’re fed on a daily basis and not accepting what the media, the government and people in positions of power tell us is the truth”.
