First single from the long-in-the-works debut Death To Analog goes for adds on April 14th.
For those who don't know, this is the industrial side-project of Orgy members Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck. The album was executive produced by Chester Bennington, and Julien-K is the backing band for his solo album.
There's a video already for this track that is exclusive to Playboy.com. From Wikipedia:
Personally, this band just makes me miss Orgy, really.

I pray that this album is at least decent and am deeply worried that it'll be so uninteresting that I'll cry.
Now that I think about it, that's kind of how I'd feel about the next Orgy album, if that'll ever materialize.
It's been a painful decline, after Candyass was basically the 1999 equivalent of what, say, Avenged Sevenfold's Waking the Fallen or AFI's Sing the Sorrow meant to me several years later. I even dressed as Jay Gordon for Halloween in 1999.

I never really liked Candyass that much. Come to think of it, I never really liked Vapor Transmission all that much either, save a few songs. And Punk Statik Paranoia would have been so much better with better lyrics. In fact, really overall Orgy's lyrics have been pretty weak.
And yet I still claim I like Orgy. Is that weird? Maybe I just get something from them I don't get from any other band.

The odd thing about Candyass, personally, was that the first and last tracks were clearly the two worst songs on the album (relatively speaking).
I didn't think Vapor Transmission held up, because while it had several fantastic songs ("Fiction," "Eva," "Suckerface," "Eyes-Radio-Lies"), it had too many "just-okay" songs that, to this day I've never able to remember too well (if at all), unless I'm actually listening to them.
Punk Statik Paranoia didn't have any fantastic songs. It had a couple of good ones, but mostly the songs had no discernible hooks and a lot of them never seemed to go anywhere. Plus, it took (nearly) 4 years to put out and it only had 9 songs. I waited close to 4 years for 9 mediocre songs?
On a different note, my brain consciously chose to re-read "bass" as its homograph. (As in bass, the fish.) And with the word "kick" right there in the title, my mind immediately thought of "Kick his ass, Seabass!" from Dumb and Dumber. (And how I overheard my neighbor, two years my junior, had the nickname C-Bass by the time he finally caught up to me at the same high school building. His last name was Bass and his first name started with a C.)

Awesome, your favorite tracks from Vapor are the same as mine. Maybe I should give Candyass a relisten. As for Punk, I originally agreed with you on the tracks being dragged out and not going anywhere, but as I listened to it over the years since then I've come to appreciate it more. I just don't think the lyrics are worth anything. I complained about the length then too, but lately I've found myself struggling to finish an album so the shorter it is, the more likely I will.

I completely forgot that I saw these guys at the Projekt Revolution Tour 2007 I guess because I didn't know anything from them back then, but I do remember thinking they sounded awfully close to Orgy. Anyway, I like this. I wish it well.
