Romanian Post-Rockers Methadone Skies share official video for the track “Mano Cornetto” taken from upcoming new album “Spectres At Dawn” due out on October 25, 2024. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
Formed in Timișoara, Romania, 2024 finds instrumental Rock titans Methadone Skies celebrating their fifteenth year around the sun with the release of their sixth studio album, “Spectres At Dawn.”
Due for release this October on their own imprint, Haywire Records, their latest forty-minute foray into the realms of Heavy Psych, Doom and Prog, pushed the key tenets of underground Rock through the stratosphere. Offering up Post-Rock landscapes, stoner grooves and sonic concepts, Methadone Skies have cut the formula of previous releases with a more direct, hyper intense focus on shorter, punchier bouts of uncompromising sound.
To herald their return the band is thrilled to share a brand-new video for “Mano Cornetto” an aural vortex of big riffs and swirling raves, and the second single to be lifted from Spectres at Dawn.
“‘Mano Cornetto” is the song that materialized the fastest for this album. We were jamming on the main riff and over the course of a week or so, all the other parts fused together. The title is a wordplay on the term “mano cornuto” which is the devil’s horns sign. We watched several videos created by various Orthodox priests and worshippers who were trying to shun the popular rock/metal festivals in Romania. They used various dumb arguments, and this was one of them. Sadly, this is still happening in 2024.”
Having played over two hundred shows with acts like Samsara Blues Experiment, Motorpsycho, Yawning Man, My Sleeping Karma, Stoned Jesus and 1000mods and taken in several festivals across Central and Eastern Europe (Doom Over Vienna, Lake on Fire, Thulsa Doom Fest) Methadone Skies will also embark on a tour in support of “Spectres At Dawn,” dates for which can be found below.
