Today, European rock band Iguana Death Cult return with a brand new track entitled “Pushermen,” This new track is the second single off their forthcoming LP, Echo Palace (due 5/12 via Innovative Leisure), which was introduced last month with a track entitled, “Sensory Overload.”
Speaking on their newest release, the band wrote:
“This is one of those songs that just sort of happened while fooling around. Talking about it now already feels kind of surreal but we were literally trapped inside my home because of the curfew that was installed due to covid. Guitar in hand, we were reviewing the state of the world and the growing division and distrust we saw not only in the media, but amongst the people we know. Someone joked that we should quit the band and go into the vaccine business and so, we had our chorus. A chorus that ends on a more serious note that we don’t want to be victims of our time. I tried to make the lyrics ambiguous enough that you don’t really know which side the narrator is on. In the end we’re just all people living different lives.”
On the track’s upcoming video, they continued:
“‘Pushermen.’ It kind of sounds like an action movie doesn’t it? Sadly we came a couple of million short, so Hache came with the idea to do a casting video for a fictional film called: ‘Pushermen.’ The scenes we did were loosely based on the movie ‘Superfly.’ If you know, you know.”
Iguana Death Cult are making an appearance at this year’s SXSW (March 10 – March 19, 2023 in Austin, TX). Find more info and view the full line-up here.
Stay tuned for Echo Palace, out 5/12 via Innovative Leisure.
