In case you hadn’t noticed, Spring King are back. Their brilliant debut saw them hurtling forward, held together by gaffer tape, good luck and buckets of hope, as they tried to come to terms with their demons.
‘Animal’, the first taste of new album ‘A Better Life’, sees them moving faster. There’s a streamlined purpose and just as much hope.
“Guitar-wise, it’s inspired by Pantera. Not that it sounds anything like it. I was really getting back into heavy music,” explains Pete Darlington, who set out to write 100 riffs for this record.
“The new record feels like one of those shots of ginger. It’s the most concentrated form of what you can get,” adds Tarek.
“Every single element of every single song has been carefully looked at and thought about, from a writing perspective, lyrical perspective, production perspective,” Pete continues. “There’s no fat anywhere. It’s super lean the whole way. It’s intense. And we know we’re an intense-sounding band anyway.
