Winter

Description

New Model Army make a welcome return with their powerful new album entitled Winter.

This is their first full studio album since their acclaimed long-player Between Dog and Wolf kick-started a creative renaissance in 2013. This album saw the band receive the best critical response of their career and garnered top 30 chart positions in UK and Germany. Between Dog & Wolf was shortly followed in 2014 by Matt Reids fascinating and absorbing documentary feature film Between Dog and Wolf: The New Model Army Story which had a successful run at worldwide film festivals. Its excellent reviews on home entertainment release in turn created further interest in this unique and passionate group who have always remained true to themselves and steadfastly refused to follow any given trends or fashions Winter will be released on bands own Attack Attack label via Red Essential in the UK and via earMUSIC worldwide. Formats include special double gatefold vinyl.

The album is a powerful and emotionally intense body of work. From the opening epic Beginning through to the closing song After Something the album builds on the new directions taken by Between Dog and Wolf, yet also has familiar echoes of the immediacy and engagement of the bands classic albums The Ghost of Cain and Thunder and Consolation. Says founder, lead Singer and main songwriter Justin Sullivan:

Between Dog and Wolf opened up a lot of creative doors for us, so it was exciting to go and look inside. The results were not necessarily planned as usual we felt our way but I think Winter has a really strong identity. It is very much the sound of people in difficult places something that so many of us can relate to at the moment, on a lot of different levels. It is a much more of a band album than Between Dog and Wolf and we made a deliberate choice in mixing it to sound more aggressive and a little less polished.
