Obsidian, the upcoming album from Pennsylvania's own riff-titans Crobot,
and likely the band's most introspective journey yet, is set for release on
the extraordinarily lucky Friday, September 13, 2024 (Megaforce Records)
Produced by Crobot, recorded at The Machine Shop Studios in Austin, TX, and
engineered, mixed, and mastered by Alberto De Icaza, the 12 tracks on Obsidian
dive into the deep, murky waters of the human condition, threading ancient myths
with personal demons across its tracks.
While the band's primary songwriters - Bishop and Yaegley - tend to leave their
songs somewhat ambiguous, the upcoming album's new tunes touch upon very
personal growth, conficts, and refections. "Each song descends into the darker
reaches of the psyche," Bishop says, "set to a relentless rhythm of heavy, pulsing
beats and gut- wrenching guitar solos, and offers a stark refection of internal
struggles."
"'Obsidian' is almost a rebirth of our career," Brandon adds. "We were able to take
a different approach to the writing and recording of this album, so the experience
was very rewarding and different from past projects. Conficts and refections
make you a better person, even in those darker moments, but I know I become a
better person for it. I think that's what symbolizes this entire album for us. It's
been a real breath of fresh air."
