New LP ‘Observance’ out October 31 via Relapse Records. See Primitive Man on tour in North America Nov + Dec.

Later this month, band will release their most crushing album to date. After twelve years at the forefront of underground music, Primitive Man take merciless aim at the plentiful ills that besiege the world around them, and in the process of doing so do not spare themselves from their flagellating tongue-lashings. The album’s second single arrives with a music video and frontman/guitarist Ethan McCarthy says it’s “…one of the more -trance-like- songs in terms of how it was written and I think leans in on the dark psychedelic vibe we have tried to harness for this. Lyrically it deals with feelings of isolation, friend or associates turned bitter enemies, and how the option of violence is always there; that it is a personal choice whether or not to succumb to it and the struggle within that framework. It is also somewhat of a call out to anyone that the lyrics apply to. It also states that there is strength and a spark within hatred that you can either use to progress your life forward or end up dead/in jail.” Video directed by Diana Lungu.
