The Fierce And The Dead release Golden Thread, the 2nd single from their upcoming 4th album News From The Invisible World, once again featuring vocals from bassist Kevin Feazey, described as psychedelic metal with a shoegaze feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent Press:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fresh psych-fuzz freakout from one of the UK\u2019s trickiest-to-pin-down instrumental rockers \u2013 except their first new music in four years isn\u2019t actually instrumental, featuring vocal contributions from Kevin Feazey for the first time. (A) peak grunge- channeling chorus riff, which takes equal billing with the verse\u2019s shoegaze-worthy washed-out chords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em> The work of a truly original band pushing forth and genuinely progressing <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Be prepared to have that phrase \u2013 annoy and irritate your friends with it floating around your brain for days. Surely the sort of hook that makes a good single?”
At The Barrier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modulates between being a dark, fuzzed-out ripper and an exploratory post- rock\/jazz fusion. It\u2019s an exciting track that shows off TFATD\u2019s mastery of post-rock songwriting and excellent mix\/master engineering. Highly recommended.? Independent Clauses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biography:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fierce And The Dead are releasing singles ahead of their first album in 4 years with (for the first time) vocals from bassist Kevin Feazey. Their music has been championed by Kevin Cole of KEXP, Stuart Maconie on BBC 6 Music and Steve Davis on his Interesting Alternative Show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fierce And The Dead formed in London in 2010, with all 4 members originally from Rushden, Northants, they mix in elements from psychedelic rock, old metal records, post-rock, prog, broken analogue synths and shoegaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They released their breakthrough 3rd album The Euphoric in 2018, via BEM records, which was Classic Rock Magazine\u2019s Prog Album Of The Year and 8th in Prog Magazine\u2019s critics choice. Prog magazine included them in their 100 Prog Icons and they have appeared ranked highly in the magazine\u2019s Readers Poll for multiple years and categories, although the band never considered themselves to be deliberately prog. Pre-COVID headline shows in Manchester and London sold out months in advance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have toured with Hawkwind, Big Business, Dave Lombardo, Crippled Black Phoenix, Evil Blizzard and Monkey 3 and at festivals in the USA, Europe, and the UK including Freak Valley, Prognosis, Arctangent, HRH, Kozfest, Ramblin Man and Rosfest and will support Kings X in Italy in September 2022. They have released 3 studio albums alongside 4 EPs and 3 live albums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
