The band’s first new studio outing in over a decade, \u003cstrong\u003eGENGHIS TRON\u003c\/strong\u003e's Hamilton Jordan and Michael Sochynsky are now joined by two new collaborators: vocalist Tony Wolski and Sumac\/Baptists drummer Nick Yacyshyn. Together, the lineup perfects the unique mix of extreme rock and electronic music \u003cstrong\u003eGENGHIS TRON\u003c\/strong\u003e has pioneered over their storied career. A melding of hypnotic rhythms and densely layered synth soundscapes, \u003cem\u003eDream Weapon\u003c\/em\u003e was recorded and produced alongside long-time collaborator Kurt Ballou at God City Studio in Salem, Massachusetts, with additional production and engineering by Ben Chisolm (Chelsea Wolfe) and JJ Heath (Rain City Recorders).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLyrically and conceptually,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eDream Weapon\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003epicks up where Board Up The House left off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“That album’s closing track, ‘Relief,’ was about how humans have become a burden to the planet, and how Earth will endure long after we’re gone,” Jordan explains. “There is sadness at the end, but some relief—and beauty—too.
