Wise Blood Records presents the mind-blowing new album from Seattle metallic hardcore outfit Turian. Blood Quantum Blues blends the band’s explosive hardcore with a fresh palette of influences, making it one of the most vibrant, unique, and powerful heavy albums in recent memory.
“We are always trying to push ourselves and make better music, so we are never married to a sound or ideology,” shares guitarist Ryan Metztli-Moon. “A big push for us on this record was to make exactly the music we wanted to hear and not compromise on anything until we were all happy with it. That ultimately encompasses an enormous amount of influences and ideas.”
“This is the first album where we truly feel like ourselves,” adds drummer Andrew Nyte. “Up until this point we were searching for our voice, but the influences were always there. Specifically, we wanted to bring electronic production into the mix, since a couple of us have been making electronic music longer than making metal. I think that was a huge change for us and one that felt completely natural.”
As their riffs smash tyranny, vocalist Vern Metztli-Moon guides the album through a blood-soaked history of American violence and oppression. “As a Yaqui Indian, this album is about my ancestors, acknowledging their unheard grief and our transcendental connection to one another,” Vern Metztli-Moon explains. “It’s also about my decision to confront and break cycles of destruction caused by multiple generations of colonial genocide.”
Blood Quantum Blues is both a standout metallic hardcore album and a weapon of retribution. Wise Blood and Turian will release the album June 6th on CD + Cassette + Digital.
