Way back in July I teased fans that after a decade long wait, they’d soon have a new The Mark of Cain album in their hands. Well rest assured folks, that patience will be rewarded tomorrow when Songs of the Third and Fifth hits stores.
This album has been a long time in the making. The band members commenced work on it way back in 2006, and have taken their time to craft something truly special. With drummer John Stanier now based in America it was never going to be a quick process, but that’s allowed the band to ruminate on their new material and make sure it’s top notch. The Scott brothers stole time with their band made when John’s acts Battles and Tomahawk were in town, and eventually it came all came together. With a track featuring a spoken word section from Henry Rollins no less!
The Mark of Cain will let fans sit with the new material for a few months before embarking on a national tour next year.
