Angel Du$t have announced their brand new album “Cold 2 The Touch”, set for release on February 13th through Run For Cover Records. The 26-minute record marks the band’s first with drummer Nick Lewis and guitarist Jim Carroll (American Nightmare). Recording sessions took place with producer/engineer Brian McTernan (Turnstile, Converge).
Frontman Justice Tripp described the album as the group’s most collaborative effort yet, sharing:
“The band has always been about me funneling other elements coming in from other people—I make a lot of music based on where I feel like the collective consciousness is going. I think this is the most collaborative Angel Du$t record.”
He also reflected on the record’s lyrical themes:
“A lot of the lyrics are in the context of ‘when is the end coming and what are we doing with our lives in the meantime?’ I want to experience life while I can, I want to commit to what I am and my place in the world. For me that’s music, but I think that’s important for anyone—to do the things you do unapologetically.”
The album features a stacked lineup of guest collaborators, including:
- Scott Vogel (Terror) on “Pain Is A Must”
- Wesley Eisold (American Nightmare) on “Zero”
- Patrick Cozens (Restraining Order) on “Downfall”
- Frank Carter on “Man On Fire”
- Taylor Young (Twitching Tongues) on “The Beat”
Tripp added about the opener, “Pain Is A Must”:
“It’s a song about sacrificing for things you love to do. Getting Scott on the song was special cuz he’s the one that taught me that. There’s nothing in life that I want that doesn’t come with some misery and I accept that.”
The music video for the title track, “Cold 2 The Touch,” directed by Blaise Cepis, is streaming now.
