Black magic and fuzz guitars are back! The British outfit Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats returns with their seventh studio album, Shapes Of Midnight, released via Killer Candy Records. Mastermind Kevin Starrs describes the record's concept as taking place in an "alternate universe to our own where everything feels a bit 'off' and twisted." Pushing their signature "Evil Beatles" sound to its absolute limit, the band pairs paperback horror lyrics with massive '60s-era garage pop melodies, heavy-synth Krautrock, and raw NWOBHM grit. To capture this dark, analog warmth, the album was tracked completely live to tape at the legendary Abbey Road Studios using original 1960s EMI console technology. Engineered by Chris Bolster and mastered by Noel Summerville, this 45-minute sonic nightmare is an absolute must-hear for any fan of heavy, psychedelic occult rock.

With the release of their fourth full-length album, Rebirth, CHILD marks a definitive shift in their creative trajectory. Moving beyond their established sound, the band showcases a refined focus on songwriting—stripping back the noise to reveal the heart of their message. The record serves as an unfiltered dialogue with the self, confronting the obstacles that block our evolution and demanding the strength to overcome them. It is a gritty, honest document of survival and the messy beauty of becoming who you are meant to be. crédits
