The band formed in 2007 releasing an EP, before two albums Red In Tooth & Claw (2009) and The Sleep of Reason (2012).
Tracklisting for the new album, which was launched by the release of Old Hitler this week, is as follows.
1. Summoning The Demon
2. Christian Science
3. The Call Of Chtulhu
4. Old Hitler
5. In The Court Of The CRISPR King
6. Ergot
7. Dyson Sphere
8. Family Planning
9. Current Affairs
On the single, the band said: “Old Hitler was a legendary giant hammerhead shark, nicknamed by US naval officers in the midst of WWII. This song posits the question… what if Old Hitler showed up at the sinking of the USS Indianapolis in 1945? What carnage would he have wrought? This question and many more answered on ALTER NATURE.”
