Failure begin new record

Failure have announced the commencement of work on a new studio album which will be their first in roughly 18 years.

Failure have announced the commencement of work on a new studio album which will be their first in roughly 18 years.

Frontman Ken Andrews released the following statement:

"OK, so if you have not heard, we are officially in the studio making the follow-up LP to Fantastic Planet. To say that we are enjoying the process, would be a huge understatement. For me personally, getting back to record making from the artist's chair has never felt so right and so satisfying. The band is truly in full creative swing with all pistons firing.

"So in recognition of this fact, we are launching something next week that I think a lot of Failure fans are going to be happy about. Stay tuned…

The photo below was taken in our new studio. It shows a few of the new gadgets we are using on the new album. Just wanted to give a quick shout out to Earth Quaker Devices for making some of the best riff inspiring pedals we've used to date."
