Set to deliver their highly-anticipated debut full length album, TIME TO BURN, this week, skyrocketing Venice Beach hardcore punks XCOMM have saved their most effective preview for last.
Completing the rollout of singles that began with last year's introduction with "Reasons" and continued with the barrage of pummeling tracks like "Fake ID," "Hot Pursuit, One and Nothing" and the album's searing title track, XCOMM continues to pull out all the stops.
For the final preview of the album, punk's new blood have sourced the command of Ghostemane for a massive collaboration track in "PIRATES" that powerfully punctuates the run up to release day of the Ross Robinson-produced presentation.
Showcasing the speed, fury and intensity that has propelled XCOMM's hype, "PIRATES" is a two-minute blitz that emphasizes the band's songwriting chops and the commitment to hardcore punk. Coupled with a new music video helmed by Darren Craig that includes guest appearances from both Ghostmane and Fletcher Dragge of Pennywise, XCOMM is winning over generations of fans for good reason.
XCOMM frontman Michael Gatto shared, “Im so excited for the world to finally hear this record! Every little bit of writing to preproduction to actually being in the studio recording with Ross was amazing. We’ve got a lot of shows and new music to come. This is just the beginning!
Shooting the Pirates music video was great, Darren Craig killed it and Ross chewed up a pickle and spit it all over my shoes for the video - homemade relish. The video captures the intensity that the song was written about. And having Ghostemane feature on the track was mind-blowing.”
XCOMM drummer Revel Ian also weighed in on the experience of collaborating with such a legendary producer in Ross Robinson. “Working on this record with Ross Robinson was the most cathartic experience I’ve ever had. There were no limits to what we could be or do. Playing our instruments was like breathing; you didn’t have to think it was just there; it was like an extension of our being. This record is what I’ve always wanted to do my entire life.”
TIME TO BURN, the debut album from XCOMM arrives May 22nd via Blowed Out Records. Get the album - HERE
