“Mind Crawler” is the new single from UNCLE ACID’s acclaimed third album, “Mind Control”. Due for 7″ vinyl and digital release on August 19th, it features an exclusive b-side, “Get on Home” – a brand new recording of a song originally written and recorded by Charles Manson.

The band have also unveiled the new video for the single too, – directed by Marc Morris it is a paranoia-inducing sensory assault fully capturing sacrifice of social niceties whereby goat skulls, nuns, acid tabs and ritual sex sit alongside trash culture, exploitation movies, rolling news and grainy TV clips of Jim Jones and Charles Manson.

UNCLE ACID will also embark on a full EU & UK arena tour as main support to the legendary BLACK SABBATH in November and December 2013. Prior to the BLACK SABBATH shows, the quartet have also been confirmed to play this year’s Reading / Leeds festival.

UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS’ are the very antithesis of what it is to be a rock band in the 21st century and therefore quite brilliant.

Formed in Cambridge by media-shy frontman K.R. Stars, in an era of profile building, brand-expanding and over-exposure UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS are a cult genuine phenomena: taking rock music back to its ritualistic beginnings when pagan heathens would stomp out a dirt-rhythm and howl at the moon. When music was the carnal catalyst for orgiastic midnight reckonings.

UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS at Freak Valley Festival

“Mind Control” (2013) looked across the water for inspiration, primarily early ALICE COOPER, MC5, BLUE CHEER, THE STOOGES and B-movie biker flicks. It has been critically acclaimed right across the music press board, from Kerrang! to Mojo and NME. Because UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS are many things to many people: a blues band, a metal band, a psychedelic band, a doom band. A cult.

The question of who and why and when still go largely unanswered and indeed become irrelevant when UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS plug in and play. Devotees throw themselves down at the feet. Declare allegiance to the twisted spirit sound. Offer themselves and their grandmothers for sacrifice to these devilish overlords. Because resistance, ultimately, is futile.

UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS – Premiere New Track on Invisible Oranges and Brooklyn Vegan

UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS, one of the most talked about rock bands currently in existence, and an enigma in the international underground scene, are preparing to release their third full length album. “Mind Control” is set for release on May 14th via Metal Blade Records in North America. Within its blood soaked grooves you will hear shocking tales of bizarre desert ceremonies, religious brainwashing and drug inspired mass slaughter! Fans can order the album and listen to “Poison Apple” now at metalblade.com/uncleacid.

As we near closer to the release of “Mind Control”, the band has released another track from the album. Invisible Oranges and Brooklyn Vegan are hosting an exclusive premiere of the song “Evil Love”.  In addition Invisible Oranges has an exclusive interview with Uncle Acid.  Check out the interview and song premiere on Invisible Oranges here and the song premiere on Brooklyn Vegan here.

NPR is streaming the track “Valley of the Dolls” here.

“Mind Control” is a concept album with a theme that makes the acts and intentions of the likes of Charles Manson and Jim Jones seem like petty crimes. What makes “Mind Control” scarier than most albums is that it doesn’t seem as sinister on the surface as it really is deep down, within the core of its black acid-drenched world of pain and torture.

Imagine the original ALICE COOPER band jamming in a cell with early BLACK SABBATH and THE STOOGES, whilst sitting on murder charges and you may get a glimpse into their fuzzed up world of exploding tube amps and cymbal smashing mayhem. However, this enticing act of musical manipulation is merely the icing upon a very sick cake.

Recorded at the legendary Chapel Studios over an autumnal full moon using the finest western electrical technology, engineer Jim Spencer (BERT JANSCH, ROBERT WYATT) has captured perfectly the bands live sound of saturated fuzz, mind-bending riffs and 60′s vocal harmonies.

If youre not around in the UK and missed this years Roadburn, make sure to catch UCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS at Freak Valley Festival!
