DÄLEK Complete Work On New Album

Experimental hip-hop noise pioneers DÄLEK have completed work on their new album “Asphalt For Eden” which will be set for release on CD/LP/Digital on April 22nd. This will be the first DÄLEK release since 2009’s “Gutter Tactics” album.

Ever since their 1998 “Negro, Nekro, Nekros” debut LP, DÄLEK have forged a sound unlike any other entity in the DIY hip-hop scene where the band would take a style of dark urban hip-hop artistry and blend with a rhythmic backdrop consisting of noise, experimental music, shoegaze, and dark ambient. This would be showcased on four acclaimed full-length LPs released on Mike Patton’s Ipecac Recordings (along with a collaboration with Faust and a b-sides compilation released through Hydra Head) throughout the course of the first decade of the 2000’s. It was during said decade in which DÄLEK would share the stage with such a diversity of artists as KRS One, The Melvins, Tool, Jesu, The Dillinger Escape Plan, DeLa Soul, Prince Paul, ZU, Black Heart Procession, Flying Lotus, Mastodon, Grandmaster Flash, just to name a few notables. In 2011, DÄLEK quietly went on hiatus for an undetermined amount of time.



Fast forward to spring 2015 when producer MC Dälek himself with the blessing of former longtime member/co-producer Oktopus decided to resurrect DÄLEK with a new lineup that now consists of Mike Manteca on samples and effects and DJ rEk on turntables. The new lineup would release a new single/video for the song “Masked Laughter (Nothing’s Left) in the spring of 2015 likewise to mark their return.

DÄLEK’s comeback release “Asphalt For Eden”, which consists of seven tracks and clocks in at 38+ minutes, sees MC Dälek and crew take the DÄLEK sound to the next logical progression, presenting something new while still upholding the blueprint of the distinct sound they unearthed in the ‘90s. “Asphalt For Eden” is a new artistic statement from DÄLEK that will once again bring awareness to the importance of the band as game changers in the DIY hip-hop movement.

Featuring artwork and design by longtime DÄLEK art conspirator Paul Romano (Mastodon, Trivium, Hate Eternal, The Acacia Strain etc.), track listing for “Asphalt For Eden goes as follows:

01. Shattered
02. Guaranteed Struggle
03. Masked Laughter (Nothing’s Left)
04. Critical
05. 6dB
06. Control
07. It Just Is

That Dalek track was pretty good

90% of MetalSucks reviews are "I'm not generally a fan of this band but this album is great," also fuck video reviews.

Dude it is Metal Sucks. What do you expect? They are good for the occasional find but for the most part they are your typical run of the mill metal review site. If you want a real chuckle read their comment section sometime. Idiots abound on the internet. That should be a t-shirt. I would buy that t-shirt.

[Busty McCracken]

And some of you guys complain about Tool. Fucking shit, Metalllica.

(This page didn't seem all that trustworthy so I googled this news and it was on several other sites so I'm guessing this is real, and sad. Sad as in pathetic.)

I remember reading about this when it came out and thinking that even for Metallica, this sounded like a stretch. Turns out it was all a big beat up. Check out the bands reply below:

I want to believe them, but Lars is in that band after all.

[Calfium Jay]

Lars likes Oasis. I swear it's true. I couldn't even make shit like that up....

[hellboy]

I also like Oasis

[Calfium Jay]

Do you play the drums??

[hellboy]

Probably better than the guy from Oasis can

[N.Y.H.C.]

Probably better than the guy from Oasis can

HAHA.

[N.Y.H.C.]

I watched a great concert on that Palladia channel last weekend, Rage Against The Machine live in London, anyone catch that? from a 2010 show they played for free. two hour set (with commercials), DVR it if you can find it on a replay. they were tight as hell and basically played the entire first album front to back. incredible.

[Busty McCracken]

I want to believe them, but Lars is in that band after all.

Haha, a spanner and mediocre drummer he may be, but that doesnt make him a liar.

Thats why i thought it was so odd when i heard the story, given theyve had metallica tribute bands open up for em before.

At least he didn't say something stupid like 10,000 Days.

[hellboy]

It was a pretty good list and then he mentioned Slipknot...

[UndKeineZwEier]

That seems to be a pretty accurate summary of Josh Middleton from what I've seen. He seems like a cool dude but you dig a little deeper and he starts to seem a little eh...

I stopped following him on Twitter after he started talking about how Matt Pike turned him on to some illuminati shit.

[Calfium Jay]

It was a pretty good list and then he mentioned Slipknot...

And yet Slipknot wasn't even the worst of it.

Which is mindblowing in and of itself.

[hellboy]

Well, Foo Fighters might not be putting out worthwhile music these days, but I still find them pretty funny:

As our ship prepares for voyage, we announce that Jim Ward will not be joining us on future journeys. We wish him well and are excited to see you soon.

I've always felt that Jim was a pretty integral part of the band, so this statement doesn't fill me with a great deal of hope...
