Bass Drum of Death are getting back to basics. From the bare-bones title of their sixth full length, SIX, to the writing approach. The band’s first two albums were recorded entirely on GarageBand, the creative process for SIX is strikingly similar to the early stages of their career. While the new album marks a return to their original recording method, there are a few notable changes. Instead of working solo on the demos, frontman John Barrett and the band, guitarist Jim Barrett and drummer Ian Kirkpatrick, convened for several sessions in Barrett’s home studio in Nashville to bring the songs to life. 

Manning the faders for the album was producer Jeremy Ferguson who then hosted the band for ten snowy days of fine tuning at his Battle Tapes Studio. The result is a scuzzy blast of their signature sound, with influences ranging from The Stooges to ZZ Top and very much aided by Ferguson’s deft engineering touch. If SIX sounds like a return to form, the band proves they still have a few tricks in their pocket and things up their sleeves.

SIX is now available through Cobraside Records and Bass Drum Of Death are hitting the road in the US, with the tour kicking off at St Louis, MO’s Off Broadway on the 20th September.
