Party Cannon Release New Album 'Injuries Are Inevitable' via Unique Leader Records

May 6, 2024

Let's get this Party (Cannon) started! The purveyors of Scotland's finest party slam have unleashed their new album out into the world, 'Injuries Are Inevitable' and the official music video for "Bonus Ambulance" (via Unique Leader Records). Leading up to today's release, the band shared "Weird, But Not Illegal" and "Not Immediately Life Threatening". Speaking about "Bonus Ambulance" and the video, Party Cannon bassist Clankenstein commented:

“Blastbeats. You love them, we’ve got them. Death metal has evolved beyond the need for songs without them. This is one of the most punishing, guttural songs we’ve ever written. And by ‘punishing’, I mean punishing ourselves because this song is an absolute nightmare to play. Lots of BRODEQUIN and DISGORGE vibes on this one with an unhealthy dose of the most intelligence-void slam riffs and pitch-shifted LDOH style vocals. If you didn’t need to shower before then you will after hearing this, because it is rancid."

“The video was filmed at a graveyard in Bo’ness, Scotland and features an evil cult summoning the anti-Party Slam demon played by our good friend and long time collaborate Hamish Maguire who you may know from the bands LACERATION, OMNIPOTENT HYSTERIA and INIQUITOUS SAVAGERY. We really get what’s coming to us in this video, we’ve been guilty of ruining death metal for a while now and it’s about time someone summoned a bodybuilding demon to deal with us. As with the previous videos, this was produced and directed by our guy Calum McMillan and features SFX work by Katie Cooper and Bailey from Scapegoat.”

Party Cannon will bring the heat across Europe on the EU VOMITOUR 2024 kicking off in one week with Cognitive as support. For ticket information please click here.

PARTY CANNON are BACK with their HEAVIEST, SLAMMINGEST, and DUMBEST album yet; an overwhelming helping of the henchest and most nauseating Party Slam. The band have doubled down on their signature Party Slam style to bring you an experience so IQ-lowering, so soul-crushing, so life expectancy-reducing that we recommend you wear a helmet while listening for your own safety. 'Injuries Are Inevitable' takes us on a deep dive of the infamous Action Park; the world’s un-safest theme park. Through the medium of guttural vocals, rapid blast beats, and anabolic slam riffs you will be taken on an immersive 4D experience of the debauchery, partying, and downright irresponsibility this iconic park had to offer.

No admission for cowards, big dumb party riffs only.

Party Cannon Unleash New Track + Official Video "Not Immediately Life Threatening" via Unique Leader Records

March 28, 2024

Party Cannon, purveyors of Scotland's finest brutal party slam, have today released their new track "Not Immediately Life Threatening" and the official video via Unique Leader Records. The single is taken from the band's forthcoming concept album 'Injuries Are Inevitable' (inspired by the infamous Action Park) out on Friday, April 26. Speaking on "Not Immediately Life Threatening", bassist Clankenstein stated:

“These are some calorifically dense riffs. These riffs are definitely going to exceed your macro goals for the week. We wanted to have a song so slimy, so beefy, so irresponsible to throw into our live set for when we feel the IQ is just a little too high in the room. Musically this is a love letter to bands like DEHUMANIZED, WAKING THE CADAVER and LUST OF DECAY – the forbidden, spicy death metal bands.”

The band also shared:

“The video continues with our goal of avoiding the usual performance style video in favour of something that’s as visually IQ-lowering as the music. Directed and produced again by Calum “Saint of Patience” McMillan, the video is somewhere between the SAW movies and that old MTV show FIST OF ZEN I used to watch at 2am instead of getting enough sleep before school. Our good friend Bailey from Scapegoat Productions plays the enigmatic skull figure intent on taking down Party Slam in the most devious of ways.”

Prior to today, the band released "Weird, But Not Illegal" and announced signing to their new label, Unique Leader Records. Stream "Not Immediately Life Threatening" here, watch the official video below, and pre-save 'Injuries Are Inevitable' here.

Party Cannon will be touring across the EU (with Cognitive as support) on the EU VOMITOUR 2024 kicking off in early May. Don't miss out and be sure to get your tickets while you can at the link here.

Party Cannon Announce Unique Leader Records Signing + New Album 'Injuries Are Inevitable' Out April 26th

March 2, 2024

Hold on to your seats as Party Cannon, purveyors of brutal party slam, have today announced their new signing with Unique Leader Records. In celebration of the news, the band announced their new upcoming album 'Injuries Are Inevitable' out on April 26th and unleashed their new track "Weird, But Not Illegal" along with the accompanying music video. When asked about signing with ULR, Party Cannon commented:

“We are hyped to announce UNIQUE LEADER RECORDS are joining the party – a label that should know much better. It’s amazing to be working with the label that put out such classics as GORGASM, DISGORGE, INVERACITY, DISAVOWED as well as current favourites such as WAKING THE CADAVER, DISENTOMB, and KRAANIUM and we can’t thank them enough for having us onboard. Now I know what all you fellow death metal mega virgins are thinking, an underground brutal band signs to a bigger label, have they gone soft? I can assure you that we’re not the type of band to get a bigger advance and start making the softest music imaginable under the guise of ‘good songwriting’, Unique Leader encouraged us to make the most sonically offensive album we could. This is pure, 1000% Party Slam in its most concentrated form.”

Speaking about today's 'Injuries Are Inevitable' album announcement, the band shared:

“’Injuries Are Inevitable’ is our first concept album, the main influence being the documentary ‘Class Action Park’ about the iconic Action Park. The park was an infamous landmark in the 80s due to its complete disregard for any kind of rules or safety. Park guests were free to do as they please and staff were undertrained and often very drunk – most of the rides were designed and built by people who had no idea what they were doing. All this plus a massive party atmosphere resulted in ridiculous antics, serious injuries, and a number of deaths. We felt this really embodied the Party Cannon spirit and was the perfect subject matter for a concept album.

Instruments were tracked with Mike Bew at Foel Studios in Wales which is a converted farm in the middle of nowhere. We spent most days tracking until 2 am and petting the large number of meerkats that were onsite. Steve Wright (DYING FETUS, VISCERAL DISGORGE) handled mixing and mastering. As always, we kept it sounding like you’re in the room with real humans playing real music real badly. Musically this album focuses more on shorter songs this time around so we can pack more nonsense into our live sets. Each song is still full of blastbeats, guttural vocals, and of course – a variety of physically punishing, sex drive raising, IQ lowering slam riffs.”

Party Cannon also stated when asked about "Weird, But Not Illegal":

“We chose "WEIRD, BUT NOT ILLEGAL" to be the first single and to open the album as it is the perfect example of what Party Slam is – if someone asked you to define our sound, you’d blast this song. Hitting that sweet spot between slamming brutal death metal and goregrind, it’s packed full of fast blasts, inhuman noises, and repulsive slime this is exactly the song you need to hit a PR today. The last minute of the song is some of the most offensively danceable stuff we’ve ever written so we better see you getting dumb in the pit. The title covers the moral and legal grey area that Action Park operated in and how a lot of their practices only just fell in line with the law.

We really wanted to avoid the normal ‘band plays in front of background’ style video for this song and put out something ridiculous and entertaining. The video was filmed by Calum McMillan in Glasgow and is a tribute to our love of B-move horror films and stupid early 2000s stoner films. It is full of ridiculous gags, greenscreen effects, and tributes to some of favourite films.”
