Uniform 'The Long Walk'

Following the release of the critically acclaimed LP 'Wake in Fright', which featured two songs in the new season of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, it was time for Uniform vocalist Michael Berdan and instrumentalist Ben Greenberg to return to the studio. The duo decided to up the ante and add a third member to perfect their vicious post-industrial dystopian cyber-punk sound. After some deliberation, Greenberg called on drummer Greg Fox (Liturgy, Zs) to round out the sound they were looking for. Using a mix of triggered samples, real drums, layered synths, and electric guitar, the trio arrived at what would become 'The Long Walk' after only a few days in the studio.

From the opening whirr of the title track, it’s clear that the band was onto something special. Recorded in Strange Weather studios in early 2018, 'The Long Walk' presents eight new tracks by Greenberg and Berdan, now incorporating Fox’s drumming to add a new dimension to the signature Uniform sound. Ditching sequenced tracks, Greenberg opted for single takes to emphasize the Frankenstein-like guitar-bass-synth hybrid that dominates the recording. Crushing guitar thunder is amplified by Fox’s drumming, while Berdan’s cries from the netherworld feel more desperate and morose than ever. This is Uniform at its bleakest, most emotional, and most powerful.
