Sad, really sad news

You can read a Rolling Stone tribute to Steve Albini right HERE.

It’s only 2 months ago that Albini announced a new Shellac album via
social media, their 6th and first in 10 years. They titled it To All Trains
and is/was planned to come out, next week, on May 17.

It was so great to see Shellac playing live
back in 2017 in Kortijk, Belgium on one of
their rare tours.

STEVE ALBINI & SHELLAC Turned The Decibels Way Up In Belgium…

SHELLAC – Wilde Westen, Kortrijk, Belgium – 30 Mei 2017

SHELLAC formed in 1992 by Chicago noise rock legend Steve Albini (Big Black / Rapeman
and – still – producer of countless records) on crushing guitar, big mouth Bob Weston on metallic bass and awesome octopus drummer Todd Trainer landed in Belgium yesterday for an exclusive show. The band’s last album Dude Incredible already dates from 2014. A new record is planned but it’s a long work in progress – only two new songs canned so far – as Weston answered the question of a curious spectator. So what? You don’t see such legends every day, so their (sort of) greatest hits did the trick to inflame all devoted fans
in the place. After a slow start with some mechanical problems, phenomenal madman drummer Trainer found his deafening force and hammering rhythm. Albini immediately followed by torturing his guitar with his hands and teeth. HELL YEAH! Everybody awake! Sweaty bodies moving in all directions! Heads flying around! Wham Bloody Bam! Burning hardcore havoc was what the audience expected, wanted and screamed for after Albini started talking too much between songs! He got the message and returned to do what
he does best: making mind-boggling N.O.I.S.E! A bit like on this 2016 live footage…
