2019 will mark 10 years of existence for Methadone Skies, an amazing reason to rejoice and feel grateful for all the incredible memories and experiences we gained since the beginning. Thus, on May 10th the band will release their 4th studio album, Different Layers of Fear through their own imprint, Haywire Records (as 2LP, CD & DD). Featuring 7 songs that stretch over 72 minutes, this is undoubtedly the most diverse and grandiose effort so far. From post rock, psychedelic, progressive, stoner to doom, these songs represent everything Methadone Skies stands for, without losing the sonic identity.
Different Layers of Fear was recorded at Consonance Studio in Timisoara in October - November 2018 by Edmond Karban, Cristian Popescu & Andrei Jumugă (all members of dordeduh, Sunset in the 12th House), then mixed and mastered by James Plotkin (that has worked with an amazing array of artists including Neurosis, Isis, Nadja, Tim Hecker, Fennesz or Acid Mothers Temple etc) in December 2018 - January 2019. Additional keyboards and synthesizers were added by Marius Muntean (The Thirteenth Sun, Black Water) and on ‘A Glitch in the Sun’, the band collaborated for a second time with Davide Straccione (ZIPPO, Shores of Null), who recorded vocals for the song (his first featuring was on ‘Tatabong’ from Eclectic Electric, released in 2014). The artwork was illustrated by Mihai Manescu (Obsidian Nibs).
