This month, London-based Noise Experimentalists Troy The Band share their new single “Adoration of Ill Luck” — the fourth track from their hugely anticipated sophomore album, “(des),” and first with new vocalist, Ana-Maria Terr Bordei.
Stream “Adoration of Ill Luck” via the YouTube player below:
“We’re so happy that Ana has joined us permanently,” explains bassist Sean Durbin. “There was such a great vibe recording with her and since rehearsing together last December we have nearly an album’s worth of new material. We can’t wait to get back on the live circuit with her. Her voice is so unique, and she is super creative vocally. We’re excited to see where we go next musically.”
Following on from previous singles; “Porous,” “Nothing” and “The Moment,” their latest single provides another bold creative shift. A strutting monolith of a track that leans on a sunken bass and intense, bone crushing groove, saved from utter desolation by Bordei’s strife affirming vocals.
After parting ways with their original vocalist shortly after entering the studio, the band re-imagined “(des)” as a collaborative project celebrating London’s vibrant underground heavy-music community. Featuring contributions from members of Elephant Tree, Believe in Nothing, Black Groove, Black Orchids, and more, their new material showcases the band’s ever-expanding sonic palette.
Recorded at Bear Bites Horse Studio in Haggerston with producer Wayne Adams (Gum Takes Tooth, Petbrick, Terminal Cheesecake), the sessions also cemented long-time live drummer Jack Revans as a permanent member, reinforcing the band’s evolution while maintaining the distinct identity forged on Cataclysm.
With plans to release one track per month leading up to a full physical edition this summer, Troy The Band are gearing up for their most ambitious year yet. For now, listeners can stream and share “Adoration of Ill Luck” featuring Ana-Maria Terr Bordei, ahead of its official release on Friday (20th February 2026) with more news on “(des)” to follow soon.
