Last month we shared news of a Shooting Daggers/Death Pill split. Now, London based Shooting Daggers is back, announcing their debut full-length, which will release on Feb. 16, 2024. The record is called Love and Rage, with the band sharing a new single as well: "Not My Rival."
The 3-piece queercore group previously released Athames EP (2022).
In the band's words:
When we started writing this album we decided we didn't want to limit ourselves by any genre. We wanted to be able to get influenced by any band that we were fond of at the moment, that's why each of the tracks of this album are so different from one another, which is something we've always committed to do while at the same time trying to keep it very ours.
We have hardcore songs inspired by Ceremony, Axe Rash, Turnstile, G.L.O.S.S. and then we have some more melodic hardcore inspired by Title Fight, Touché Amoré, Gouge Away, some post punk and shoegaze inspired by Placebo and Slowdive to showcase more of Sal's clean vocals. A bit of 90s nu metal sprinkled in one of the tracks too. Then we have a piano track because why not.
We just went with the flow and let our creativity run free.
The album will release on New Heavy Sounds.
