So Hideous is now streaming their new single "Motorik Visage" via a new drum playthrough featuring Michael Kadnar. The playthrough was filmed at Backroom Studios in Rockaway, NJ, and was filmed by Sean Ageman and Washed Up Media.
"I think we still have the foundation of what we laid before, being influenced largely by Japanese post metal bands Mono and Envy, and composers such as Arvo Pärt and Max Richter," said guitarist and keyboardist Brandon Cruz about None But A Pure Heart Can Sing.
"We wanted more rhythm this time and we expanded outward to include influences from Fela Kuti and Tony Allen's Afrobeat percussion, James Brown's horn section, and the balladry of Otis Redding and Sam Cooke. It was also nice to finally experiment a bit with more Penderecki-style tone clusters and glissando on the more dissonant sections."
So Hideous will release None But A Pure Heart Can Sing on December 3. The album was mixed and mastered by ex-The Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Kevin Antreassian, and is available for pre-order here.
