Church of the Cosmic Skull Announce New Album There is No Time
A couple things here. First, obviously, is that new Church of the Cosmic Skull is good news. And the album, dubbed There is No Time, is as lush melodically and prog-narrative-concepty as one would hope given their past work. That’s good news too. What I didn’t know, aside from that this album was coming, of course, is that band-spearhead Bill Fisher — who also issued a solo record last year — is planning Church of the Cosmic Skull as a seven-album cycle.
That ties in. Seven is a theme for the Nottingham-based group, whose last outing was 2019’s Everybody’s Going to Die (review here). There are seven of them, for starters, and their label is Septaphonic Records, and there are various other instances. I hope when they announce their first-ever US tour for August — that tells me somebody’s headed to Psycho Las Vegas but don’t quote me until it’s confirmed and I can say I told you so — there are more than seven shows to be played.
Announcement from the PR wire, with more details and whatnot to come:
Church of the Cosmic Skull announce new album and UK tour this May, US tour in August.
The fourth studio album ‘There Is No Time’ will be released worldwide via Septaphonic Records on Friday 13th May 2022.
‘I can’t believe we’re already halfway through!’ said Church founder Brother Bill Fisher. ‘This record forms the centre-piece of the 7-album canon – the singular-present-moment of spiritual enlightenment captured forever on hyper-deluxe limited edition vinyl, shipping worldwide only from cosmicskull.org.’
Recorded at the Church’s UK headquarters ‘The Rainbow Lodge’, the 7-track prog-rock / psych-pop concept album charts humanity’s journey through the illusory time-ego continuum. ‘We can’t wait to tour the new album across America,’ continues Fisher. ‘Expect more Hammond, guitar-and-viola twin solos, and 7-part harmonies beamed directly from a parallel universe where rock never died.’
UK and US tour dates will be announced soon, along with preorders, music videos and other tantalising cosmic materials.
An exclusive album prelisten of ‘There Is No Time’ will be accessible to the Cosmic Family – ‘All living beings are personally invited to join us now, and embark on the world-renowned indoctrination program of spiritual guidance and song that is The Path: cosmicskull.org/path‘
