Perturbator, aka James Kent, returns with his highly-anticipated new full-length album, “Lustful Sacraments” (Blood Music) on May 28th, 2021.
Watch the video for the new single “Death of the Soul” below. Kent said of the song: “The track takes inspiration from old school EBM a la DAF or Front 242, Valnoir (Metastazis) has managed to perfectly pair visuals that reflect the nihilistic tone of it”.
“Lustful Sacraments”, which was written, performed, produced and mixed by Kent, represents his most mature work to date, merging the dark synthesized tones that brought Perturbator to worldwide prominence with classic post-punk, goth, and heavy techno rhythms. The album deftly weaves Perturbator’s cinematic textures with thundering drums, subtle electronic melodies and in-your-face guitar hooks.
“It’s an album about bad habits, dissatisfaction and addiction”, adds Kent of the album, that serves as a follow-up to 2016’s “The Uncanny Valley”. “An overall look at how we, as a species, lean towards self-destruction”.
Album pre-orders, which include both a gatefold 2LP and a 2LP picture disc as well as a cassette, CD and digital release, are available now (physical here and digital here.
