Ten years since their last album The Mark Of Cain are back with new single ‘Barkhammer’ from the soon to be released album ‘Songs of the Third & Fifth’.
Triple J’s Home & Hosed programme debuted ‘Barkhammer’ on national airwaves last night and the single will be available for free from The Mark Of Cain’s website for one day only on Monday 5th December.
Finally the new Mark of Cain album that has been in the works since 2008 and was thought to be due out last year has entered the mixing stage.
John (Scott) recently posted to the TMOC blog that things are happening and the record is approaching completion.
Just been reading through this and it is a great read. Intimate details of the recording process day by day of the Mark of Cain’s newest album recorded with John Stanier in February after he completed the Battles BDO tour.
The Mark of Cain are entering the studio this month for the first time since 2001 to record a new album. The album will be released independently after the band split from BMG in 2004.
The band consists of John Scott (Guitar/Vox), Kim Scott (Bass) and John Stanier (drums – Tomahawk, Battles, ex-Helmet). Their style is unique but can be likened to Helmet and they are well known in Australia for putting on a brutal live show. The band has been absent from the Australian music scene due to Stanier’s hectic schedule and John and Kim both having families and careers.
