About

The Silence Industry is back with the fourth installment in their captivating series of digital 7-inch singles. "Headlong (General Strike!)" is a powerful and intricate track, blending delayed guitars with noisy electronics to create a soundscape that's both dark and sonorous, yet undeniably driving. The song delves into themes of historical transcendence and collective agency, making it a thought-provoking listen as well as a musical powerhouse.

This digital release, now available on Bandcamp, offers more than just the title track. It includes a short, noisy electronic piece, a dark ambient composition, and a unique, "dangerously wholesome" acoustic and noise-oriented rendition of the classic "The Internationale" combined with custom cover artwork and a printable lyric booklet. The title track "Headlong (General Strike!)" will be available on all download stores and streaming services on 31 May 2024.

Released: 31 May 2024 · Aenaos Records
