About this deal

Northern Irish stalworth’s Therapy? are set to release their latest studio album “Hard Cold Fire” on the 5th of May and it is amazing, number sixteen in their illustrious catalogue and its fair to say that with no signs of letting up, this is up there with some of their best.

As Therapy?’sfourth decade finally gets underway in earnest, sixteenth album ‘ Hard Cold Fire’,written and pre-produced during an unprecedented time for music, is hefty, compact, and accessible, a distillation of everything that has made them what they are – hewn from County Antrim basalt, still possessed of their stoicism, but casting a renewed focus on catharsis and healing.As Therapy?’s fourth decade finally gets underway in earnest, sixteenth album ‘Hard Cold Fire’, written and pre-produced during an unprecedented time for music, is hefty, compact, and accessible, a distillation of everything that has made them what they are – hewn from County Antrim basalt, still possessed of their stoicism, but casting a renewed focus on catharsis and healing. He’s excellent at getting the performance out of you, knowing when to push a bit harder, knowing when something doesn’t need to be over-complicated.

To Disappear, Woe and Joy are other examples of songs that hit deep and hard, dark feelings explored, challenged and explosively let go. Yes, there’s a few like Bewildered Herd that don’t achieve the musical highs to match Andy’s captivating words, but this sense of propulsion from a band so lived-in as Therapy? is still some achievement.

Resilience and survival have become vital watchwords for Therapy?.Enduring over three decades as the musical, cultural and social landscapes have shifted around them, the trio have forged and retained a powerful and lasting connection with a dedicated fan base around the world, doing so by putting their emphasis on the music, solidifying a hard-won reputation as forward-thinking writers and a fierce live proposition in the process.

We had twenty-odd songs, half of them were more experimental, the others were very classic Therapy - melodic, propulsive drums, churning basslines. We listened to all the songs, and we agonised, and we thought, post-pandemic, we want something that, as much as Therapy can do, is slightly joyous. I don't know why, but I think there's a great deal of empathy on this record, it's like empathetic pop, with Helmet-esque guitars. days ago LIES!: Dutch metallic hardcore gang drops video for “Propaganda” (ft.

When I came home, I got depressed,” says Cairns. “I came home euphoric because the tour was such a success, came in the front door, and then after about a week I said to my wife, ‘I feel really flat, I don't know what's wrong’. She said to me, 'I haven't seen you sad, flat or down once in the last two years, and I think it's actually hitting you now', and I think that's maybe what happened.
