Blkout have announced the release of their second full length for Resist Records. Titled ‘Point Of No Return‘ it will be released on July 6th on CD and Vinyl. Originally an outlet for the band to pay homage to New York greats like Cro-mags and Breakdown, the range of influences this band shares have seeped on to this release with diverse instrumentalisation favoured over the traditional hardcore fanfare. “We wanted to create a record we would want to listen to,” vocalist Scott Angel explains. “All of us listen to a lot of different styles of music other than just hardcore and we wanted to produce something with a wider scope than you would normally hear on a typical hardcore record“. The band once again worked with Lachlan Mitchell at Def Wolf Studio to lay down the tracks. Angel reflects on how the album helped him to purge. “I’m not trying to sing about cryptic shit I know nothing about,” he says. “I’m just writing about what I’m living in, what’s happening around me and what I see on a daily basis. The song, No Escape, I wrote about when I was having ongoing issues with the police about an accident I had that left the other party with a disability. I wasn’t at fault, but I had them on my case trying to get me to admit to something I didn’t do. It was proven I did nothing wrong in the end, but it sucks that someone is left with a permanent condition from this.” The album will also be released through Six Feet Under Records in the US and Demons Run Amok in Europe. Catch the band touring this month with Bitter End.
