New York, NY – 6th December 2019 – …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead bring fans another new song today with the release of “Into The Godless Void.” Everything kicks into full pelt with this noisy and thrilling existential anthem that follows the news of the band’s first new album in six years, their upcoming 25th year anniversary and a North American headline tour. Just last month …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead announced the January 17th release of X: The Godless Void and Other Stories along with their first new song and video for “Don’t Look Down” which Rolling Stone called “…a bustling rock track carried by rushing drums and fuzzy guitars….”
Along with the song, the band has dropped the official music video for “Into The Godless Void” – another compelling clip directed, edited, and produced by founding member Conrad Keely who also created the clip for “Don’t Look Down” and is responsible for the band’s album art. “Into The Godless Void” is a track that founding member Jason Reece says deals with “this existential woe that all humans tend to go through – feeling that weight that plagues the mind.” Keely adds, “Songs have a life of their own. If you listen to them, they’ll tell you how they want to manifest.”
As they enter their 25th year together, Trail of Dead is back to their core with Keely and Reece at the helm and basing themselves in Austin where Reece has been holding it down since the band’s early days. Keely returned in 2018 after a five-year stint in Cambodia and earlier this year they took the band on the road for a 20th anniversary tour of 1999’s Madonna – an album that Pitchfork reviewed last month as part of their Sunday series where they take a look “at significant album from the past.” They gave the LP an 8.7 and called it “...a keystone in the aggressive indie-rock boon of the late ‘90s.”
There is genuine excitement for the band’s recorded return with Pitchfork, Consequence of Sound, Kerrang!, Stereogum, Exclaim! and more picking up the news and both members have expressed a renewed excitement to working together again. “Coming back to the band, there was a new vigor to it. It all feels exciting still,” said Reece.
They’ve already announced a North American headline tour that kicks off on release day with a show at the
Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Confirmed tour dates below, check out “Into The Godless Void”
