Track Premiere: Preamp Disaster – “Above the Bloodline”

January 13, 2022 Adem Tepedelen
Exclusive, Featured, Streaming, Track Premiere Czar of Crickets Productions, Post Metal, Preamp Disaster.

If you’re looking to “turn off your mind, relax and float downstream,” as the Beatles once suggested, we’ve got a doomy/psychedelic track premiere, “Above the Bloodline,” from Swiss post-metal quartet Preamp Disaster that’ll do the trick. This roiling, slow-burner churns along with alternating atmospheric guitar lines over an ascending rhythm for several minutes until the arrival of guitarist/vocalist Urs Schnyder, who shouts a few lines of lyrics as the rest of the band—drummer Sandro Hächler, guitarist Damian Ruckstuhl and bassist/synths Silvan Weibel—brings the song to a crunching close.

The foreboding tune is one of four tracks on Preamp Disaster’s upcoming fourth studio album, By The Edges, due for release on February 4, 2022 via Czar of Crickets Productions. “Above the Bloodline” will see its official release as the album’s first single on Friday, January 14. You can preorder the album—CD or vinyl—here.

Here’s what the band had to say about the track:
“‘Above The Bloodline’ is the first song on By The Edges. We wanted to create an opener with a spherical soundscape, a lot of power and still clear song structures. [It’s] a punch line for the ears that invites the listener to be carried along. [It’s] a typical Preamp Disaster song, from the epochal guitar sequences to the hardcore heavy shouting parts at the end.”
