Death Is A Warm Blanket

Atlanta, GA's Microwave have joined the Pure Noise Records roster and have a brand new full-length on the way. The band's third LP, Death Is A Warm Blanket, is due out September 13th and finds Microwave taking a daring sonic leap. The album plunges the band into darker and more aggressive territory than ever before, while also providing their catchiest melodies to date. Today Microwave have shared two new songs to offer a taste of their new direction. "DIAWB" and its accompanying music video waste no time in catapulting the listener into the volatile world of Death Is A Warm Blanket, with a ferocious tangle of blown-out guitars, pummeling drums, and gigantic hooks to match. "Carry" offers a glimpse of Death Is A Warm Blanket's many dynamics, opening with a sparse, mechanical drum beat and the plaintive vocals of singer/guitarist Nathan Hardy, before blossoming into sweeping chorus. You can check out both singles below.

Microwave turn up the volume on Pure Noise debut

If these 2 new Microwave songs are any indication of the rest of the album, this is sure to be in heavy rotation and a definite rocker! Loving the more aggressive direction they've taken their sound, and the hooks are still in tact! Can't wait to see these guys at Riot Fest. First impressions to follow soon.
