Powerman 5000 has released its long-awaited album, Builders Of The Future, today on T-Boy Records/UMe. The new record can be purchased now via Amazon.com at: http://smarturl.it/Powerman5000Explicit or iTunes at: http://smarturl.it/Powerman5000. To celebrate the new release, Powerman 5000 has teamed up with Revolver to stream the 10-track album in its entirety at: http://www.revolvermag.com/?p=59417.

Powerman 5000 will also appear on SiriusXM Octane tonight at 5:00 PM EDT for an Octane Takeover, ‘Power Hour w/ Powerman 5000.’ The show will re-broadcast Thursday, May 29 at 9:00 AM EDT and Saturday, May 31 at 10:00 PM EDT and will also be available on demand.

“I never would have imagined that after all the albums, the band members, the ups-and-downs of the always changing music business, I’d still be here doing this, which is thanks to our most diehard fans,” marvels band leader, visionary and sole remaining original member, Spider One, who founded Powerman 5000 with a 4-track and a drum machine.

“We’ve replanted our flag as the weird, sci-fi, electronic band. This is what we are. This is what we do best. This is clearly what people like from us the most, too. So I’m going to love it like they love it. We’re back. The fan base has really rallied around us again. The enthusiasm feels like it’s picked right up from the year 2000. The electronic-metal-dance thing, we’ve locked it down once and for all with this one.”

Powerman 5000 has carved out a corner of the galaxy where its devoted supporters created a culture that’s bigger than music. New tracks like “How To Be A Human,” “Invade, Destroy, Repeat,” “Live It Up Before You’re Dead” and “Modern World” are turbocharged with the same futuristic, b-movie bite of enduring, electro-tinged Powerman 5000 anthems like “When Worlds Collide” and “Nobody’s Real.”

Armed with giant hooks and crowd-empowering choruses, Spider and his merry band of musical superheroes have made a record vibrantly reminiscent of the commercial breakthrough, Tonight The Stars Revolt! (which gave DreamWorks Records their first platinum plaque). Builders Of The Future delivers on the promise of 2009’s return-to-form, Somewhere On The Other Side Of Nowhere.
