The New Normal

by Massive Ego

supported by

Anathe Mal This goes so hard. Comply strongly reminds of medical horror industrial/goth release golden years ('member before times?) but with a lil 'Headbone - Dig' chucked in. Fake Star is a sleeper, and Vampire Wife I've played on repeat countless times now. Mad respect to Marc for this killer release! Favorite track: You Will Comply.

skiamakhos This kinda captures the spirit of Goth & Darkwave at the end of the 90s. One of the most interesting times of my life, so full of nostalgia - but it's not just a rehashing. Massive Ego are producing new music that should keep the subculture going and growing. Favorite track: Dead Eyes Black.

Reptars Powerful album thank you for the release Favorite track: Not Without Consequence.

about

Massive Ego return with the 5 track EP THE NEW NORMAL. The new songs play to the bands’ strengths of what made their first album 'Beautiful Suicide’, a fan favourite. A return to form, characterised by catchy synth-pop melodies, and darker 80’s influences. YOU WILL COMPLY comment's on a pandemic weary society. FAKE STAR reflects on an ever-changing night sky where there are now more satellites in the sky than real stars. DEAD EYES BLACK brings the tempo back to the dance floor, with pulsating beats and lyrics that guide the listener down a solitary road of self-destruction. THE VAMPIRES WIFE gothic undertones exemplifies the eclectic nature of this EP, and NOT WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE delivers an acidic vocal delivery alongside harder beats.

about

Massive Ego UK

"Formed in 1996 avant-garde band Massive Ego can't be analysed in a normal, earthly way. We feel like the genre grouping avant-garde doesn't suit them either. We think they should have their own genre .Maybe something like, electroslut clash, or eyeliner punk. Either way any band whose lead singer looks like a cross between Amanda Palmer and Voldemort has to be paid some attention"

Bandcamp is my favorite app. Without Bandcamp I would missed out on a lot of great music like Empathy Test! A wonderful album. Occasionally bombastic with nice synths and the voice of Isaac Howlett on top. Well done guys💪🏽 Fredschuit

Been following these vox on/off since "Buried Again" and SF fit neatly with my current synthwave leanings. Perfectly dry pop songs with a little pathos, huge synths and some adorable DIY drum sounds. Love it. x0riente

I have been following VNV and attending their concerts for years. They are an amazing band, so prolific, well travelled, classy, and down to earth. Ronan is such a humble, amazing fellow. I'll never forget his taking a person's cellphone so he could give the person on the other end in hospital a front row experience. But this track, their music, is so moving. Lyrics are so well thought out, and their sound so consistently emotive over the years. Can't say enough good about VNV. realbibliodude
