Blackout Problems - New Music

BLACKOUT PROBLEMS - DARK
BRAND NEW ALBUM OUT NOW 

Blackout Problems have released their brand new album DARK today (Jan 15th) via Sony Music/Music For Nations.

The inspired album reflects the German rock band’s response to some of the alarming headlines of recent years, including the resurgence of right-wing forces and the worldwide triumph of populism.

The record blends the energetic intensity of Bring Me The Horizon and Enter Shikari with the melodic potency of Twenty One Pilots.

DARK includes the new single ‘DRIVEBY’, which features sinister riffs paired with pulsating electronics among a hard-hitting message formed in lockdown and addressing the darker side of human emotions.

Regarding the single frontman and guitarist Mario Radetzky says, “DRIVEBY is one of these songs that came about without a real plan. We wrote this one on a rainy day in Berlin and it was just a great moment to get out of Munich, spend some time in the capital with old friends and be creative in the midst of it all.

 “You sometimes come up with stuff that is waiting in your unconsciousness and you just start to bring it up by writing down whatever comes to your mind. It happened not only once that the lines I came up with made sense later on. So take for instance the chorus line “I DON’T GET YOUR IGNORANCE” I could apply this one to a lot of things happening right now.”

The new album DARK shows an exciting evolution from Blackout Problems earlier days. Now signed to Sony Music worldwide and partnering with legendary label Music For Nations in the UK, they stand poised for international success. Their new music captures the weltschmerz of a generation and gives a voice to those who are willing to stand up for love, respect and social justice.
