FLOOD PREMIERES TODAY

"DIAMOND" HERALDS EAGERLY ANTICIPATED NEW LP, ATW

EPIC WORLD TOUR BEGINS OCTOBER 12 AT DESERT DAZE
IN LAKE PERRIS, CA

ATW ARRIVES EVERYWHERE ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28


All Them Witches has announced today's premiere of an extraordinary new visual. "Diamond" is streaming now at the Nashville-based psych-rock experimentalists' official YouTube channel. In addition, the track is available now at all DSPs and streaming services. FLOOD magazine premiered the video earlier today, saying, "Nashville's sludgiest jam band carry over their genre-blending brilliance to the video for their latest single."

WATCH "DIAMOND"

Directed by All Them Witches drummer Robby Staebler, "Diamond" heralds All Them Witches' hugely anticipated fifth studio album, ATW, out September 28th via New West Records and available now for pre-order in a variety of unique formats HERE.
"Visually I wanted to present the song in a cinematic and contemplative way," says Staebler, "something that people enjoy re-watching and finding new details in. I wanted a lush landscape and a peaceful and patient environment to work in. Something that would bleed its own blood into the final product by simply existing in the place. I shot the video on 16mm film on location and in studio. Film bleeds its own blood too and I think this video holds the real feelings of the song, the environment and the medium."
"I wanted 'Diamond' to show two sides of a common problem I have with my ego and personality," adds All Them Witches singer-bassist Charles Michael Parks, Jr. "The first is being content with where I am, physically and mentally, and the second being a constant drive to leave, to go anywhere other than where I am, to let my scattered thoughts draw me to a comparable scattered lifestyle. If forced to go to town, I seem to develop the city equivalent of allergies and slowly take note as my windpipe or nasal cavities shut down. I don't get sick at home and I seem to always get sick on tour. Music does not exist in the country though. I can't get on stage in the cow pasture and let my aggression out, so I go on tour to satiate a lust for a non-sedentary lifestyle and stay home to drown out the sensory Hellscape of the city. Both personalities can and do appear at random, and both can take the wheel and lead me anywhere."
Produced by All Them Witches guitarist Ben McLeod and mixed by Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith, Kurt Vile), ATW also includes the recently unveiled single, "Fishbelly 86 Onions," available for streaming and download HERE; an official visualizer is streaming now at the band's official YouTube channel HERE.
All Them Witches will celebrate ATW with an epic North American headline tour, kicking off Friday, October 12th at Lake Perris, CA's Desert Daze alongside such like-minded artists as Tame Impala, Warpaint, Connan Mockasin, and more. That Sunday, October 14th, will then see All Them Witches rocking the Monster Energy Aftershock Festival, joining a stacked bill that also features System of a Down, Alice In Chains, At The Drive-In, and many others.

In addition, All Them Witches will cross the Atlantic next year for a major European tour, set to begin April 11th in Helsinki, Finland before making stops in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, the Netherlands, England, and Wales.

ATW follows All Them Witches' sprawling fourth studio LP, SLEEPING THROUGH THE WAR, acclaimed worldwide upon its 2017 release. "Stoner rock is crying out for an overhaul," wrote Classic Rock. "Thankfully, All Them Witches are taking it apart and piecing it back together again. Not for them the slavish Iommi worship of your average bong-huffing longhairs. The Nashville band's fourth album parties like it's 1969 and 2019, looking forward to the future as much as it does backwards over a well-trodden past." "SLEEPING THROUGH THE WAR is a slow burning experience but once that fire is lit then there's no putting it out," enthused The Quietus. "Harnessing classic rock tropes and transposing them to the present, it encapsulates All Them Witches beautifully, a mélange of influences and contemporary statement that smolders before blinding ignition." "Bands have been ladling big, colourful spoonfuls of psychedelia over the bare bones of the blues for generations," declared CLASH in a 9/10 rave, "but somehow All Them Witches find a way to make it sound exciting and brand new...(SLEEPING THROUGH THE WAR) is so flawlessly crafted that I could happily compare it to Zep's 4 without feeling blasphemous, a rare honour indeed."
