PARTY CANNON Slap Heavy Tariffs on Weak Riffs With “High Tariff Behaviour”

Scottish death metal lunatics Party Cannon have dropped a new single titled “High Tariff Behaviour,” marking the first release to feature their newest member, vocalist Daryl Boyce. The song arrives alongside a chaotic music video directed by Calum McMillan, and in true Party Cannon fashion, the band have also issued the track in a wildly unconventional format: a working Sega Mega Drive (aka Sega Genesis) cartridge. The limited edition release is available now via orcd.co/hightariffbehaviour.

In a characteristically irreverent statement, the band said:

“We’re back, already, barely a year after our last album – this time in Megadrive format. IQs have been slowly recovering over the past couple of months so figured now was the time to drop a single with our new vocalist – Daryl ‘The Frog Man’ Boyce… Usually when bands change vocalists, they use it as an excuse to go in a different, softer, direction musically, whereas we’ve once again doubled down on all things Party Slam and written the dumbest, most blastbeat and slam riff filled track possible.”

“No drywall will be left un-punched after that first slam kicks in. I highly recommend wearing a helmet on initial listen… Daryl absolutely crushed his debut track with us… We didn’t hire him for his clean singing.”

Touching on the meaning behind the title, the band added:

“‘High Tariff Behaviour’ is a bureaucratical term used by social workers to describe things like drinking, drug taking and fighting – which is the heart and soul of all death metal really – and not a reference to any current geopolitical issues. That is just unfortunate timing.”

Boyce himself said of his explosive debut:

“I’m excited for everyone to hear the madness that is ‘High Tariff Behaviour’, it’s everything you’d expect from Party Cannon but with more stupidity… zero clean singing, zero weak riffs and zero tolerance for cowards, nothing but hench riffs and blast beat supremacy.”

The single’s physical Megadrive release, developed with Vominic and Scapegoat Productions, functions on original hardware—an appropriately absurd format to usher in this next era of Party Slam.
