New Propagandhi "Supporting Caste" Drops 3/10

By on Feb 11, 2009 in Music | 4 Comments

Ever dig a band so much you have a hard time describing just how amazing they are? That’s how it is with this guy and Propagandhi. I’m almost speechless (lucky you), so we’ll let the record label give you taste:

Legendary and unrepentant residents of humankind’s ideological peanut-gallery, Propagandhi does not disappoint with Supporting Caste – a collection of boundless power and depth that is a 50 000 watt forward-thinking tip-of-the-hat to the giants—Voivod, Rush, SNFU, Sacrifice, Razor, Guilt Parade – that have gone before them.

Based on the two songs I’ve heard (“Supporting Caste” and “Human(e) Meat”), you’re in for another maelstrom of insanely tight, brutal and surprisingly melodic rock that pounds you repeatedly with hard-to-digest stories about human cruelty and Big-Brotherish oppression delivered by a bunch of well-read Canadian activist-types who possess a wicked sense of humor and hardcore dedication to their various causes.

They also still believe in the power of the guitar solo. Sweet.

Lastly, the artwork for the record is top-notch. This one features Kent Monkman’s The Triumph of Mischief.

    this album is awesome. Seriously I am hooked to it.

    it’s slightly odd, though, that their new album artwork looks so Paganistic. Not only this, but they often refer to rituals and such in the album.

    then get this, the album’s ‘hidden track’, on the end of ‘Last Will and Testament’, is a cover of a Black Widow song called ‘Come to the sabbat’. Black widow are a 70s ‘heavy metal’ band who were well known for their use of occult and satanic symbolism.

    Hiya Rich, Glad to hear it rocks. Sadly, I have only heard the two tracks (which I love)… still waiting for March 10, official release. Also, love the hidden track choice, the Props have a wicked sense of humor.
