One of the heavy music’s most innovative, forward-thinking collectives returns with a second concept album in The Generation of Danger.
Pioneers of the nu metal revival, Tallah, have announced their much anticipated sophomore album, The Generation of Danger. Due out September 9th via Earache Records, the album, like their first, will be a concept album that revolves around one story that will unfold leading up to the release. Pre-orders are available now, HERE.
To celebrate the announcement, the band has released the first single/video for the album “Telescope”. Unbridled and furious, the video opens with a series of kidnappings juxtaposed against the band decked in UV paint. Where are these people being taken? What nefarious plans lay ahead? Use your imagination.
Speaking of today’s announcement, Tallah frontman, Justin Bonitz comments: “’The Generation Of Danger’ is a completely new and fresh concept for us, both lyrically and instrumentally. We wanted to take what made ‘Matriphagy’ so good and jack it up to 150%. The tracks are monstrous, daunting, and the story the music tells dives into the idea of people hiding what they truly desire until someone else comes along and forces it to surface. It’s a concept album about a genius scientist who gets fed up with being swept under the rug. After the multi-billion-dollar corporation that employ him takes credit for his latest, award-winning invention, he snaps and retaliates against them by forcing them to take part in the greatest experiment the world of science has ever seen.”
Drummer Max Portnoy adds: “Telescope is one of fastest and most chaotic songs on The Generation Of Danger. It was the first song I started working on for the record and it went through hundreds of changes. It’s one of my top picks from the album with the song having 2 different choruses. One being a melodic one and one with a more rap type of vibe. The song has a lot to offer.”
“The TGOD game was something I’ve been wanting to do since we started thinking of unique ways to present this album. It was an idea I hadn’t seen anyone do before and it’s the perfect way of setting up the album’s concept while offering loads of easter eggs and teasers. You’re essentially placed directly into the story and I feel it’s the most immersive thing we’ve ever done. I’m super proud of how it turned out.”
If The Generation of Danger is anything like their first album, we are in for a treat both musically and theatrically, as the band crafts a fully immersive experience with the release. The album was recorded once more with producer Josh Schroeder at Random Awesome Studio.
