Benefits blast in ahead of another substantial UK / EU tour with the release of the first new material since their debut album, Nails.
‘Land of the Tyrants’ features additional vocals by Zera Tønin of Arch Femmesis.
It may be more overtly dancey than previous outings, hitting an almost trance groove, perhaps even a bit KLF, and the rage is more simmering than roaring in in terms of delivery, but lyrically… as explosive as ever, ‘Land of the Tyrants’ tells it like it is. The video is more overtly produced, but it’s dark and stark. It’s grim up north, right?
