The duo have also confirmed the return Astronomicon 5, the release of the first two of four graphic novel installments, have launched a collectible toy company and are prepping to hit the road with Static X, Fear Factory, Dope and Mushroomhead.
Back in August, the tandem of Jamie Madrox and Monoxide delivered their fifteenth studio album in Unlikely Prescription. Spawning a slew of singles that stuck, the album was propelled by the effectiveness of the Spencer Charnas-assisted “Envy” which cracked the Top 30 at active rock radio, with the official music video surpassing 1 million views on YouTube.
The album also doubled down on the duo’s full embrace of their rock sensibilities, bolstered further by the production of Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Hatebreed, Spirit Adrift) and the collaborative connection with the likes of Cradle of Filth architect Dani Filth on a tracks like “Neon Vamp“.
For the team’s latest offering from Unlikely Prescription, Madrox and Monoxide go bars with Matt B of From Ashes to New on an empowering track that reiterates Twiztid’s true life tenacity on and off the track in “No Change”.
Further asserting their unparalleled work ethic and prolific pace, Twiztid aren’t resting on their laurels and celebrating the latest visual release. The pair are already back in the studio, hard at work with Zuess once more for what will be the follow-up to Unlikely Prescription, due out sometime in 2022.
Other than Twiztid’s 2021 album, the band’s ability to diversify is nothing short of remarkable. In fact, Twiztid has announced the return of their own pop-culture convention with the confirmation of the fifth Astronomicon making it’s return.
