KEN mode shared a new track yesterday, "These Wires," the latest single from new album VOID, out on Sept. 22 (Artoffact Records).

VOID is a sequel to NULL (2022), with frontman Jesse Matthewson noting, about the new single: "Why would anything feel right again? Do you get the sense that a lot of people have been fundamentally damaged by the pandemic? The psychological fallout of this event is going to be seen for years to come, and this is its anthem."

The band will soon embark on a tour of Europe, followed by dates in the US and then Canada.

Ken Mode

Null
Artoffact (2022)

KEN Mode have always favored a dark and oppressive path for their extreme music aspirations. From their early days up to the release of the seminal Entrench, the act from Winnipeg, Canada has not held anything back. In 2013 it would be difficult to imagine how KEN Mode could surpass their seminal works. The release of Success in 2015 felt like a slight … Read more

Listening to the album what seems so surreal is that, even though this is the band’s fifth release, it … Read more
