QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE orchestrated by mastermind JOSH HOMME have
their 8th album, titled IN TIMES NEW ROMAN…out today. Order info here.
Josh Homme to NME: “We made something that sounds as brutal as it feels to
be alive right now. I think on this [part of the] journey there’s no armour left. It’s
only about walking deeper into the darkness. That’s the way it should be.”
NME: “Informed by a turbulent period – including a messy divorce, cancer treatment
and the deaths of several of Josh Homme’s close friends – the band’s eighth album is
suitably bleak… They’ve pitched their comeback between an emotional exorcism for
Homme, but with enough fan-service for the die-hards; this is up there with their darkest, knottiest material to date, and will be appreciated all the more for it.” Score: 4/5.
TUTV: The new Queens album is a nightmarish journey into Homme‘s beat-up mind.
His thoughts reflect the hard times he went through in the past years. The overall sonic tone is murky and tenebrous. From the mid-tempo stoner blues grooves to the rugged garage rockers. And Homme‘s vocality is browbeating. He chases his demons.
I’m sure he’ll trace them down and kick them really hard in their ugly asses.
Homme is a survivor, and this bone-chilling record confirms that loud and clear.
