Knocked Loose announce new album “You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To” & release single ‘Blinding Faith’

 

 

After a monumental year, which saw them deliver their brand of heavy music to audiences worldwide at a larger scale than ever before, Louisville group Knocked Loose are now gearing up the release of their new album entitled “You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To” which is set for release on the 10th May 2024 via Pure Noise Records. Along with this announcement they have also dropped a brand new single from the record ‘Blinding Faith’. The song is an unrelenting powerhouse full of sludged up riffs, drums that cut through like a well sharpened blade and vocalist Bryan Garris’ iconic visceral screams as he tackles toxic hypocrisies that exist within religion.

Speaking on the themes of the song guitarist Isaac Hale says: “It was just hilarious how many people showed up to church that I knew were rude, horrible, selfish people… They knew that it made them seem like a better person — or if they said the words, it would redeem them of any negative quality just because they showed face.”

The upcoming album “You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To” is described in a press release as “Knocked Loose’s most extreme impulses, from blastbeat-driven fury, chaotic turbulence and seismic breakdowns, while seasoning the mix with ear-catching auxiliary percussion, evocative samples and shout-along hooks, all interwoven to perfection by Grammy-nominated, pop-savy producer Drew “WZRD BLD” Fulk.”

The album will also have a couple of features including “Suffocate” featuring alt metal sensation Poppy which is described as “an effort that contrasts an oppressive heaviness befitting the title with a dance-y, syncopated groove and the most concussive reggaeton rhythm you’ve ever heard.” Motionless In White’s Chris Motionless also makes a feature on ‘Slaughterhouse 2’ – a sequel to the 2022 MIW song which featured guest vocals from Knocked Loose’s Bryan Garris.

The album’s title “originates from an experience that frontman Bryan Garris, who suffers from what he calls a “borderline phobia of flying,” had during a particularly trying flight. As he battled his nerves during takeoff, the vocalist found himself talking to a woman seated next to him. When he confided in her about his anxiety, she assured, “You won’t go before you’re supposed to.””

Speaking on the album’s sound overall Isaac Hale says: “On this album, we go the fastest we’ve ever gone; we go the scariest we’ve ever gone. We also go the catchiest and the most melodic that we’ve ever gone, and that’s the point… Instead of branching off into a specific direction, we want to encompass ALL directions.”
