EVIL BLIZZARD TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM ‘DEATH SONGS & LULLABIES’
Preston’s Evil Blizzard are ‘truly an enigma’.
With multiple bass players (at one point eight of them) and an array of rubber masks that give both children and adults sleepless nights, somehow, against all the odds, Evil Blizzard are set to release their fifth studio album of nightmare inducing noise and visuals. Titled ‘Death Songs and Lullabies’, the new album sees Evil Blizzard pushing the boundaries further afield from their early sound of ‘multiple bass psych’, seeing elements of dub, krautrock and goth to provide a much more Post Punk vibe than previous work.
Reference points were ‘Metal Box’, ‘Ritual De Lo Habitual’, Can and Discharge (whose singer JJ joins the band on the track ‘Wake The Dead In Bedlam’) as well as the omnipresent Hawkwind, Stooges and Sabbath vibes.
By far the band’s most stylistically varied and challenging album and yet their most cohesive body of work since their critically acclaimed second album ‘Everybody Come To Church’. As well as their trademark ‘multi bass onslaught’, this album sees sequencing, sampling and even the use of string instruments made from bone.
Recorded between September and November 2025 at Rock Hard Studios, Blackpool,
improvised sessions were edited down into more ‘song’ structures, then reworked into the final pieces.
“Recording this was the hardest work we’ve done,” claims Filthydirty. “Previously, we’d just turn up, turn up louder, press record and sieve through the debris and call it ‘an album’. On this album we only had two, maybe three tracks that were finished when we went in, and the rest were worked out in reverse; ploughing through improvisations and jams and seeing what actually had any bones or gristle to work with.
“Consequently, we had the time and focus to reappraise what we’d done in the past, highlight
what we’d done right and realise where perhaps self-indulgence or lack of focus were overlooked
instead of time or budget restraints, he continues. “The result is an album that reflects all our record collections. Lyrically it’s been impossible to not absorb the chaos and anger transmitting on every news channel recently, and while we’d never write specifically about a certain issue or matter, the shitshow that is the 2020’s definitely made its mark or our thinking.
Everything’s gone to shit since Bowie died, hasn’t it?
It’s honest, it’s brutal in places and it’s generally pretty ugly. Just like us.”
