Following the release of 'Spit It Out' (still not a Slipknot cover), Slaves have announced their new album 'Take Control'.
Coming September 30th, the 16-track record is the follow-up to 2015's 'Are You Satisfied?' and has been teased by the band adding cartoon balaclavas to the majority of The Internet. Feel free to join in here.
The album is produced by Mike D (yes, that Mike D - Ed), who says of the band: “There are a few things that got me excited about working with Slaves: First, a friend had sent me “Are You Satisfied?”. I feel right now the world needs an album like this. Something that is more raw, more alive and less polished. I was impressed with the band’s strong point of view. They actually speak their minds about social topics.
Second was the initial conversation I had with Laurie. There were so many influences he mentioned that I love - from the Gang of Four to The Cramps to The Damned to Public Image Ltd to The Slits and on and on. All records that I truly loved and I couldn't believe he knew all of them so well for a person his age.
