Most notably known for their 1999 smash hit album\u00a0Tonight The Stars Revolt<\/em>, which included the explosive, culture-shocking single \u201cWhen Worlds Collide,\u201d PM5K have been building a catalog of solid, creatively adventurous albums that range from punk to space rock to a covers album that saw the band re-visioning tracks by T.Rex, Devo and INXS. In fact, it was this latter project, 2011\u2019s\u00a0Copies, Clones & Replicants<\/em>, that first brought PM5K into the orbit of Cleopatra Records. But now this partnership is set to hit another level with the release of a brand new, all original studio album later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PM5K frontman Spider proclaims \u201cWe are incredibly excited to partner with Cleopatra Records for our latest release\u00a0The Noble Rot<\/em>. We feel like we have put together our most diverse and interesting record ever. All boxes have been checked in the\u00a0strange universe that is Powerman 5000 with this one, and we can\u2019t wait for everyone to hear it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brian Perera, owner of Cleopatra Records, declares \u201cWe\u2019ve been fans of Powerman 5000 for years, watching how they have stuck to their guns throughout their career and maintained a high level of creative ambition and risk. They are a rare breed of electronic\/industrial metal bands who have crossed over and gained fans from multiple genres. This new album is really going to shock the world and we are honored to be releasing it!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
