Iconic hardcore/punk band
BAD BRAINS will release its new album,
"Into The Future", on November 20 via
Megaforce. The CD features the classic lineup of
H.R. ,
Darryl Jenifer,
Dr. Know and
Earl Hudson.
"
'Into The Future' is the purest
BAD BRAINS recording since the
ROIR cassette," says bassist
Darryl Jenifer, referring to the early-'80s sound and energy that defined the band. "This self-produced record shines with a true sense of freedom and musical experimentation, with blends of soulful backgrounds meshed with blistering hardcore and metal riffs, with classic dub."
While searching for something epic and different, the band decided to self-produce the album and capture that spirit only the group itself could find. Included on the album is a remix of
"Peace Be Unto Thee", a tribute to longtime fan, friend and producer
Adam Yauch (BEASTIE BOYS), who marked the
BAD BRAINS' return to form by producing their previous album,
"Build A Nation".
The
BAD BRAINS helped define American punk and hardcore music. Considered to be the holy grail of punk rock, they are one of the definitive American punk groups who garner the same respect as
SEX PISTOLS,
BLACK FLAG,
RAMONES and
THE CLASH.
