Canadian black metal fundamentalists Panzerfaust have returned with what is being heralded as the band's most "extraordinarily violent" album, The Suns of Perdition I: War, Horrid War.
The band's abrasively dissonant first single, "The Day After Trinity" is available now, and it does not disappoint. Based on the 1945 Manhattan Project nuclear test, the track centers around the notion that everything changed after that fateful day.
According to a press release:
The title of “The Day After Trinity,” the album’s lead single and opening track, is derived from the Manhattan Project’s first atomic bomb detonation in 1945. The code name for the nuclear test, ‘Trinity,’ was coined by physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and inspired by the poetry of John Donne.
In a 1980 documentary covering the detonation, Oppenheimer is asked for his thoughts on Sen. Robert Kennedy’s efforts to urge President Lyndon B. Johnson to initiate talks to stop the spread of nuclear weapons. “It’s 20 years too late,” he replies. After a long pause, he states, “It should have been done the day after Trinity.”
The press releases goes on to state that the album "examines the malign episodes of this past century, shining a light on difficult subject matter using a begrimed philosophical lens."
