Things are starting to ramp up for Summer in the LIbricide camp, as in addition to putting on this year’s Hudson Fest (Saturday, May 24th at The Rushing Duck in Chester, NY), the group has booked time to enter the studio in May 2025 to record their follow-up to 2022’s highly regarded Consilience. With Them Without You being their most successful release to date, Libricide are looking to up the ante stylistically while also treating fans to a deeper dive through their sophomore effort.
While there aren’t too many clues as to the nature of this new project beyond these initial rumors, we do know that it is largely acoustic-influenced in nature, but also “not limited strictly to un-amplified or any particular instrumentation”. The group has been spear-heading the project for some time at their own Libricide Studios, and will be doing the record with John Naclerio at Nada Recording Studio in Montgomery, NY (My Chemical Romance, Senses Fail, Just Surrender), a stone’s throw away from the Walden-based Libricide.
“This next record is actually going to be an homage to the great feedback we receieved on Them Without You, pretty much our biggest single to date,” says lead singer Harun Gadol, who is also serving as the project’s Executive Producer, much as he did with Consilience and the group’s self-titled debut. “We wanted to give something to our fans, expand our horizons, and explore that part of our sound on a deeper level. Call it our Jar of Flies, our Sap, except with our own wide sphere of influence.”
Stay up to date with the group on their socials as they invariably share the upcoming recording process!
