Every Bridge Burning - 2024 European Nuclear Blast label Forest Green vinyl 10-track LP

For the first time in over 8 years, the blistering assault on our nervous system that can only be described as the sound of Nails, has reemerged, with Carlos Cruz on drums, Andrew Solis on Bass, Shelby Lermo on Guitars, and Todd Jones on guitar & vocals.

For this 4th full length album, Nails have channeled raw emotion into tracks like “Imposing Will”, a seismic event in the realm of sonic aggression; igniting the pulse, and fueling a fire of hostility. “[This track is] special to the record in that I knew we wanted it to be the opener,” explains founder Todd Jones. “We wanted it to have the effect of an urgency; an immediacy in the music itself. When you push play, you get smacked in the face.”

Similarly, “Give Me the Painkiller” hints at an intricate groove while simultaneously causing the urge to peel your skin off. There exists a wild energy that according to Jones is the band’s “most expressive guitar playing” in their history. Plunge into “Punishment Map”, and confront the decades of misery brought about by Golden State serial killer Joe D'Angelo—a relentless descent into the abyss of human suffering. The guitar work on 'Every Bridge Burning' is an expansive force in its own right, epitomized in tracks like, No More Rivers to Cross. Here, Nails masterfully navigates a spectrum of moods, showcasing fluidity and intensity that is quintessentially Nails yet profoundly evolved.

Recording for the album commenced in Massachusetts at God City Studio with Kurt Ballou (of Converge), whose contribution is integral to the Nails sound, as elucidated by Jones: “we’ve recorded every album with Kurt. He’s such an important ingredient as to how we present our music. When our fans want to hear Nails, they want to hear something that is through the filter of Kurt’s engineering.”

Most importantly, 'Every Bridge Burning' was born out of unwavering dedication to Nails fans and the underground music scene. It echoes their commitment to authenticity and raw power. Nails remains a beacon of rebellion and resilience in a world hungry for genuine expression. With no shortage of effort or meticulous song arrangement, the time has arrived to become engulfed in the ferocity of Nails once again as 'Every Bridge Burning' unveils a new, but familiar chapter in extreme music.
