Canadian rock juggernauts The Dirty Nil have been moshing their way through North America’s grimiest basements and loudest clubs for years, and their new LP Master Volume,’ (out September 14th via Dine Alone Records) promises to “multiply their sound to stadium-filling, nosebleed-reaching dimensions. Asserting an amplified, technically informed, yet polish-free style, the band proves their punk mastery while retaining all of their raw, buzzed-out power.”
First single “Bathed in Light” epitomizes this, a cruelly danceable death-behind-the-wheel jam set to a sludgy, glam rock, Cheap Trick-esque riff. Frontman Luke Bentham explains the idea behind the video: “I’ve been around a lot of explosions and fireworks, but the cumulative effect of all that firepower left me trembling with nervous excitement. The constant barrage of high intensity lights and lingering smell of burnt flash powder served as a proud testament to the mayhem and disorientation we had caused to the nearby community. Those lucky folks ain’t forgetting The Nil anytime soon. Children of the world, nice to meet you – sincerely, The Dirty Nil, your new favourite band.”
