Empire State Bastard have released a new single, Moi?.
Rife with sludgy guitar riffs, the doomy stoner track marks the latest single from the band's debut album, 'Rivers Of Heresy', due out on September 1.
So far, the group's founding duo — Biffy Clyro's Simon Neil and Oceansize's Mike Vennart — have shared the cuts The Looming, Harvest and Stutter. Commenting on the new song, Neil said:
"Moi? is about people who just no matter what you talk about – and I’m guilty of this at points – will never ever see the truth, even if you dangle it in front of them. Ignorance can feel like a badge of honour these days, with people being stubborn and not being willing to enlighten themselves. I cannot believe we’ve got to the stage where that’s to be cherished."
They'll follow up the record's release with a UK and European tour in November. Tickets are on sale.
