  • Description

    Opium Warlords' sixth album "Strength!" out on Svart Records in September 2024!

    Opium Warlords, led by Sami Albert "Witchfinder" Hynninen (Reverend Bizarre, The Puritan, The Candles Burning Blue), return with their sixth album Strength! It is a versatile but tight combination of pussy techno, sludge, industrial pop, hardcore punk, drone, shamanistic pulse, noise, heavy metal, old school gothic rock and march music. It is a take on European rhythmic patterns: stagnant factory beat - no groove, no swing, just a rhythm of industrialism that pierces through different genres and styles.

    Comparing to the dark and oppressive Nembutal (2020), Strength! is significantly more light-hearted, with its postmodern lyrics emitting from sources such as shampoo bottles and television UFO series to the Pan-Europa myth or morbid lore of death-hungry Transylvanian Iron Guard. However, the sting of irony and sarcasm is balanced with more serious subjects: Strength! is a hate/love letter to Europe and a self-reflection on Machiavellian and Nietzschean philosophies of strength and elitism. True to the band's soul everything is covered with pure toxic misanthropy.

    Strength! 2LP/digital/2CD will be released 13th of September on Svart Records. Album's first outtake, Erotomania, is out right now via digital services worldwide.
