BLACK MASTIFF, the fellowship of fuzzers hailing from Edmonton in Alberta, Canada, announces the October 18th arrival of their new album, ‘Loser Delusions‘, via Grand Hand Records.
Accompanying today’s excitement worthy news is the revealing of the album artwork, tracklist, and the delivery of an audio single, “Downed By A Sound“. Our first glimpse at the third full-length record from the trio – vocalist and guitarist Bob Yiannakoulias, bassist Clay Shea, and drummer Allan Harding – “Downed By A Sound” is a throttling barrage of fuzz ferocious guitar and thick groove.
Frontman Bob Yiannakoulias summed up the single quite interestingly, saying:
“An existential crisis that leads to change and moving on “what isn’t green you leave behind”, all wrapped up and delivered with Phil Lynott attitude and a Knight Rider vibe.“
To properly celebrate the imminent album arrival, BLACK MASTIFF will embark upon the “Loser Delusions Canadian Tour 2019” with Chron Goblin next month.
