Hate Gallery, which feature current Warrior Soul members Rille Lundell and Janne Jarvis, will release their new six track E.P 'Dead Celebrities' on 23rd November.
The
title track is a modern day fairytale about a 'fictional' amoral
British celebrity who epitomizes the Cult of Celebrity and who earns
the disgust of a nation and it's media yet is considered a saint at the
time of their untimely death.
"Were not pulling any punches with
the title track and it's pretty easy to figure out who and what it's
about." Says vocalist/bassist Janne Jarvis.
"We're sick of the
cult of celebrity and appalled at the media saturation and Mooney-esque
brainwashing that goes with it. Live like a pig, die like a saint?"
As
well as celebrity culture, other tracks such as 'Liberation' dealk with
the slow but steady destruction of freedom in modern society.
"The two subjects are closer together than you would think." Continues Jarvis.
"We
obsess over and covet the banal, tedious excesses presented to us by
the tabloids and choose to ignore what's really going on. The two are
inextricably linked."
'Dead Celebrities' is a much needed wake up call and a celebration of telling the establishment to fuck off.
"They
make us look the other way. Hopefully this is like pre-revolutionary
France. It's only a matter of time before they drag them out of their
houses and hang them in the streets. I won't be doing the hanging
myself. I'll be watching it all on T.V. That's what it's all about,
right?
Hate Gallery will release their second album "Viva La Resistance!' in Febuary 2010.
'Dead Celebrities' is that rare commodity: A truly modern rock record.
It's
a collision of distorted bass lines and razor sharp guitars
underpinning songs for the disaffected masses of the 21st Century.
'Dead Celebrities'
was recorded in Stockholm and was produced by bassist/vocalist Janne
Jarvis and mixed by Jarvis and Chris Rose, collectively known as Binary
Audio, as a continuation of their latest collaboration on the latest
Warrior soul album-of which half of Hate Gallery are members.
"It's
passionate and relevant, particularly in a time when there aren't any
great rock bands left. Rock'nRoll is meant to be irreverent and
visceral. In the times we live in, that's definitely good for the soul.
If you've still got one."
As single 'Dead Celebrity (Queen of the Damned)' will be available as a free download on Monday 26th October exclusively from this location:
