    CD Digipack

    Over ten songs and 30 minutes, Bokassa is as diverse as ever on their new full length “All Out of Dreams”. The power trio offers everything from riffy stoner metal in "Bradford Death Squadron", almost progressive skatepunk in "No More Good Days", 45 seconds of metallic hardcore in "Everyone Fails In The End" to laid-back Izzy Stradlin bottle neck-riffing on the desert rocker “Gung Ho”. Not to mention the hooky and anthemic the title track. In other words, the band has not become less fond of mixing genres over the years!

    In an age where everything sounds the same, it has also always been important to Bokassa that each record is sonically different from the previous one. Therefore, they have been very conscious of how this record should sound. Where, for example, the debut "Divide & Conquer" had a noisy soundscape and 2021's "Molotov Rocktail" had a more playful and bigger rock sound, "All Out Of Dreams" has a slightly more raw metallic sound. This can clearly be seen in the conscious choice to go for a snare drum sound that brings to mind 90s metal, rock and punk ala Clutch, Helmet, Therapy? or The Vandals' "Live Fast Diarrhea”, to name a few.


    The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, BabyMetal, Madball, Sick Of It All, The Haunted) in Antfarm Studio in Denmark in June 2022. The band also has guest artists for the first time, in the form of Lou Koller from the NYHC legends Sick Of It All, and Aaron Beam from the stoner rockers Red Fang. It doesn't get much better when it comes to famous guests on an album, if you ask us!

lyrics

Lyrics:

First things first I´m alive for the thrill
Forget drugs and alc, I got PMA will
And maybe some oxy, but only on the weekend
I listen to Judge, so I wont get off the deep-end

Oh My God they kicked me out, this is it.
Despite all my failures, you can't fake true grit
What happened to being brothers till the end?
We ain't Terror, what´d you think this was a hardcore band?

They say that this would never end
Promises made but never meant

And I´m gonna get righteous baby, and I´m gonna get high, soo high
Just in need of a paycheck baby, then I´m gonna get high as a kite tonight

Failure after failure, now i´m back and alive
Thank God for Kid Rock, the only reason I survived
Bawidaba, tattooed on request
No more Chain of strength, I got Cowboy on my chest

Cowboy on my chest

They say that this would never end
Promises made but never meant

And I´m gonna get righteous baby, and I´m gonna get high, soo high
Just in need of a paycheck baby, then I´m gonna get high as a kite tonight

I am something you will never be
I am something you will never be
I am something you will never be

Me
