Last night Valient Thorr premiered ’No Strings Attached’ from the new album ‘Our Own Masters’ onPitchfork, listen to it here. If that link dont work for some reason check out the new song here on soundcloud. According to Pitchfork the song is „one of the most joyous and winning moments of Valient Thorr’s decade-plus as a band. “No Strings Attached” opens like a standard Thorr anthem, riff unfurling over thudding drums and alongside another gruff pronouncement from Himself.”
Valient Thorr will release their sixth studio album Our Own Masters on June 14 in Germany, Benelux and Finland, on June 17 in the UK and in the rest of Europe and on June 18 in the US via Volcom Entertainment.
Recorded at Ronnie Jone Sound Studios in Athens, GA and produced, engineered and mixed by Kyle Spence of experimental rockers Harvey Milk, Our Own Masters shines a bright light on VALIENT THORR‘s singular sound, delivering twelve tracks of balls-to-the-wall rock that yearns to be played at full volume.
The band has a stranglehold on amped-up hard rock and stripped-down heavy metal, barnstorming stages across the world with its catchy, ass-kicking riffs, unmatched energy, fist-pumping anthems and hyper-agitated live show, led by the band’s front man and ringleader Valient Himself, whose highly entertaining, heady lyrics (the singer was once a college professor) become a call to arms for the band’s legions of devoted fans. VALIENT THORR is a group that plays between 200 and 250 live shows a year, be it on stage as beloved headliners or criss-crossing the globe as special guests of peers such as Mastodon, Motorhead and the Misfits.
