36 Crazyfists Announce New Album, Stream Single “Also Am I”

October 31st, 2014

I must admit. I haven’t kept up with Alaskan rockers 36 Crazyfists in recent years. But back in the early 2000s, when they were releasing albums like Bitterness the Star and A Snow Capped Romance on Roadrunner Records, they were one of my favorite bands. They’ve been quiet for four years, but have now broken that silence by announcing their signing to Spinefarm Records and releasing “Also Am I.” The song is the first single from their new album Time and Trauma, which is on track to be released in February.

The band’s sound has always been a difficult one to pin down, as emo, metalcore, post-hardcore and, hell, even nu-metal feel appropriate at times. But the one distinctive quality that has always defined the band is Brock Lindow’s unique vocals. That still holds true as the new track’s chorus finds Lindow seamlessly shifting from a radio-friendly croon to a piercing, throat-shredding scream.

36 Crazyfists are also heading out on a 20th anniversary (who knew?) tour alongside Skinlab, All Hail The Yeti and Incite. That tour actually kicks off tonight in South Lake Tahoe at what I can only assume is a fine establishment called Whiskey Dick’s, but you can find the full run of dates along with a stream of “Also Am I” below.
