Biffy Clyro: Thrash Hits get exclusive listen to new material
TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly June 4th, 2008

DrownedinSound sister site Thrash Hits spent this afternoon (4 Jun) in the company of new music from Scottish alt-rock combo Biffy Clyro, destined, perhaps, for a new album in early 2009. Impressed? That shit's exclusive.

Of the ten rough demos to arrive so far, only one is complete – ‘Mountains’ is “3min 19sec of slightly angular, stadium-filling riff rock with a killer refrain of, ‘I am the mountain / I am the sea/ You can’t take that away from me,” apparently, and is guaranteed to “stick in your head after the very first listen.”

‘Mountains’ will be released as a single on the 25th of August and is available to pre-order from Amazon. A compilation of the singles released through former label Beggars Banquet will arrive on the 7th of July (details).

As for the new album? Read more at Thrash Hits, here.
