Without the ubiquitous “Dis” in front of their moniker, it would be easy to overlook the fact that Industrial Puke are just as crusty as any of their Swedish compatriots in the genre. Yep, this fivesome—Erik Harald (bass), Mattias Rasmusson (drums), Marko Partanen (lead guitar), Jens Ekelin (guitar), Linus Jägerskog (vocals)—ride a furious D-beat on the new single, “Hoax-Mongers,” from their upcoming second full-length, Alive to No Avail. The basic two-minute-plus video is shot in a rehearsal studio, with Hild frontman, Lars Broddesson, making a short cameo in the blistering cut.
The 12-track Alive to No Avail is set for release on vinyl, CD and digitally on March 28 via Suicide Records. Place your preorder here.
Here’s what the band had to say about its incendiary new single:
“They’re all fucking charlatans. Peddling a hoax! Although we sought to elevate and evolve with our new album, there was never thought of leaving the mania of crust punk behind. Second single, ‘Hoax-Mongers’ hammers this in with conviction. It seems like the world we live in refuses to quit praising people unfit to lead the sheep. No matter if it’s a benzo-fueled professor with a Messiah complex or the original mad swindler of Nazareth, too many of us are still desperate to be herded off the cliffs by hoax-mongers.
In the spirit of independent minds, who better to lend their strongly unique voice to this blistering track than Lars Broddesson of Hild (also ex-Marduk). We shared the stage with Hild at the Metal Theatre Festival in 2023 and were collectively blown away by the band’s furious sound and presence. Thankfully Broddesson agreed to lend his raging voice and presence and elevate the track even further.”
