As they gear up for their 64-date world tour, ‘A Tribute To Kings,’ paying homage to prog-rock legends, Rush, Primus has announced a new 3-song EP, ‘Conspiranoid,’ out April 22nd via ATO Records. The band announced the EP with the release of its epic, 11-minute opening track, “Conspiranoia. “I’d been itching to record an opus–basically a long, winding, bastard of a song, reminiscent of some of the compositions I cut my teeth (or ears) on, in my music-hungry adolescence,” bassist Les Claypool told Consequence. “”Conspiranoia” was sprouted from a seed I had planted in my notebook a year or so ago–a few lines commenting on the mental state of the contemporary world.” Check out what might be the band’s strongest original song since 1997.
Two additional ‘A Tribute To Kings’ tour dates have just been announced at Gerald R. Ford Amphitheatre in Vail, CO on August 12th and 13th. A special pre-sale, including VIP upgrade options, is current open. A local pre-sale will open on Thursday, April 7th at 10am local time.
