KEN mode have already revealed the title of their next full-length, which will go under the heading of 'Success'. The Canadian power-trio recorded their new album with Steve Albini (HIGH ON FIRE, NEUROSIS, NIRVANA, HELMET). The album was mastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service.
'Success' will be graced with art by the band's long time collaborator Randy Ortiz, and feature guest performances by Eugene Robinson (OXBOW) and members of FULL OF HELL. Some early song titles include: "Blessed", "Absolutely Not", "Failing at Fun Since 1981", "Dead Actors", "A Catalog of Small Disappointments", "Management Control", "A Passive Disaster", and "I Just Liked Fire". The band will debute a multitude of new material on their current European tour.
Frontman Jesse Matthewson describes his upcoming work as being "a decidedly stripped down northern noise rock apocalypse to be unleashed on the world. Time to take this back to our roots."
