The band&#8217;s third album, Death Is A Warm Blanket, is out 13th September and finds Microwave taking a daring sonic leap. The album plunges the band into darker and more aggressive territory than ever before, while also providing their catchiest melodies to date.<br \/>\nMicrowave have shared two new songs to offer a taste of their new direction. &#8216;DIAWB&#8217; and its accompanying music video waste no time in catapulting the listener into the volatile world of Death Is A Warm Blanket, with a ferocious tangle of blown-out guitars, pummeling drums, and gigantic hooks to match. &#8216;Carry&#8217; offers a glimpse of Death Is A Warm Blanket&#8217;s many dynamics, opening with a sparse, mechanical drum beat and the plaintive vocals of singer\/guitarist Nathan Hardy, before blossoming into sweeping chorus.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video for <strong>DIAWB<\/strong>\u00a0and the video for <strong>CARRY<\/strong> below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Microwave &quot;DIAWB&quot; (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OFWl5Evwr8A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Microwave &quot;Carry&quot;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TBhz1c-UonY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Microwave&#8217;s sound isn&#8217;t the only thing that&#8217;s evolved on Death Is A Warm Blanket. The album finds Hardy documenting the drastic changes in worldview that often come with the harsh realities of adulthood, compounded by unending health problems, financial instability, and the ever-present shadow of today&#8217;s tumultuous socio-political climate. The result is an album that finds catharsis in chaos and a strange kind of nihilistic freedom. The anthemic elements of &#8217;90s alternative collide with unbridled post hardcore aggression and heaviness to create something uniquely exhilarating, honest, angry, apocalyptic, and even fun. Death Is A Warm Blanket might be an album about how the end is near, but it signals an exciting new chapter for Microwave.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Death Is A Warm Blanket track list:<\/strong><br \/>\nLeather Daddy<br \/>\nFloat To The Top<br \/>\nDIAWB<br \/>\nThe Brakeman Has Resigned<br \/>\nHate TKO<br \/>\nPull<br \/>\nLove&#8217;s Will Tear Us Apart<br \/>\nMirrors<br \/>\nCarry<br \/>\nPart of It<\/p>\n<p>Microwave will be touring heavily in support of Death Is A Warm Blanket, starting with Riot Fest in September before heading to the UK and EU.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the band at the following dates supporting <strong>Tiny Moving Parts<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>21st September 1865 Southampton<br \/>\n22nd September The Globe Cardiff<br \/>\n24th September Grand Social Dublin<br \/>\n25th September Academy 3 Manchester<br \/>\n26th September Slay Glasgow<br \/>\n27th September Institute 2 Birmingham<br \/>\n28th September o2 Islington Academy London<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tickets On Sale Now<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Atlanta, GA&#8217;s Microwave have joined the Pure Noise Records roster and have announced a brand new full-length album.
