ENGINEER WROTE A SONG FOR PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT IWABO WAS REALLY A BLACK METAL BAND NOW

Black Market Activities is about to have a ridiculously strong summer, with new releases from Engineer, Khann, Ed Gein, and Fit for an Autopsy all coming out in June, and then, at some point thereafter, a new Today is the Day album, which is pretty much never bad news. And as promotional efforts for these releases ramp up, we’ll get to hear more and more of what all this more or less guaranteed to be terrific music, which is, of course, great news for us!

So; yesterday, Fit for an Autopsy debuted a track online; now our Broseph Gordon-Levitts over at The Deciblog are streaming a new Engineer track,”The Idiot’s Theme.” It’s good because it rocks, and it’s good because it does things which are unexpected — for example, there are gang shouts over a section of the song which is relatively quiet, which is to say, not the part of the tune where you’d expect to hear a gang shout. A little bit of creativity goes a long way, y’know?

Headbang here, then come back and let us know what you think in the comments section. Engineer’s new album, Crooked Voices, comes out June 7, but don’t forget that we’re currently giving away a test press copy of the album on vinyl, along with test presses of vinyls for those new releases from Ed Gein and Khann, too. Enter for your chance to win.
