Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats Drop “House By The Grave” Video

NEW ALBUM SHAPES OF MIDNIGHT OUT SEPTEMBER 18 VIA KILLER CANDY RECORDS — PRE-ORDER HERE

UNCLE ACID AND THE DEADBEATS today release their new single, “House By The Grave,” the opening track on upcoming seventh full-length, Shapes Of Midnight, which drops September 18th via Killer Candy Records.

“This is one of my favourite songs that we’ve ever done and the perfect way to open up the album,” states Kevin Starrs. “‘Yonder stands the sinner!’ really sums it all up.”

A brilliantly macabre concept album partly inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s The Masque Of The Red Death and the too-real nightmares of our modern age, Shapes Of Midnight refines the group’s “Evil Beatles” sound: A thrilling, expertly composed fusion of eerie harmonies, pop hooks, Thin Lizzy-esque twin-guitar brilliance, and the kind of fleet-footed heaviness that’s become their trademark.

Shapes Of Midnight was tracked at Abbey Road Studios — live to analogue tape, natch — in a blessed, three-day blitz in the company of storied engineer Chris Bolster, whose previous clients include Phil Spector, Ozzy Osbourne, and Paul McCartney. The band employed era-appropriate tech, from antique Neumann mics once breathed upon by the Fabs and the Floyd, to consoles and compressors from the peak era of recorded sound. The mastering, meanwhile, was completed by Grammy-nominated engineer Noel Summerville (The White Stripes, The Clash, My Bloody Valentine).

Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats spent their summer laying waste to festivals such as Sweden Rock, Hellfest, and Graspop and will tour North America, the UK, and Australia/New Zealand later this year. Further dates across Europe for next year to be announced soon. Find more information here.
