09 February 2018

The song 'Il Mostro Atomico' from Southern Californian hard rockers FU MANCHU can be streamed using the SoundCloud widget below.

The track is an 18-minute-8-second side-long epic featuring a special guest performance by Alex Lifeson, guitarist and songwriter of the legendary band RUSH. Heavier than anything FU MANCHU has ever done and broken into four distinct sections, it's new ground for a band that's been pushing the boundaries of "fuzz and wah" since its formation in 1990.

'Il Mostro Atomico' is taken from FU MANCHU's 12th studio album, 'Clone Of The Universe', which will be released on February 9 via the group's own label At The Dojo Records. The upcoming record will be their first in four years, following the 2014 release of 'Gigantoid'.

'Clone Of The Universe' marks a new chapter for the "fuzz rock" pioneers as they mix the straight ahead blistering rock with unexpected time shifts, featuring tracks like the roaring cuts 'Don't Panic' and '(I've Been) Hexed' and the dynamically complex 'Clone Of The Universe' and 'Slower Than Light'.

The album was recorded and produced by FU MANCHU and Jim Monroe at The Racket Room in Santa Ana, California, with additional recording by Andrew Giacumakis at Susstudio in Simi Valley, California.
