PRIMUS’ new album, Primus & the Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble was releasedon October 21st via ATO Records. The follow-up to 2011’s Green Naugahyde, it serves as first album in some 20 years to feature the group’s “definitive” lineup of frontman Les Claypool, guitarist Larry LaLonde, and drummer Tim “Herb” Alexander. As its title suggests, the 14-track effort is a remake of the 1971 classical, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

According to Claypool, the concept for the project stemmed from the band’s dislike for Tim Burton’s 2005 rendition.

This is the PRIMUS WEEK on radio TANGRA MEGA ROCK.
