On the other hand, Keelhaul is not known for making user-friendly music, and perhaps the aptly titled Keelhaul’s Triumphant Return to Obscurity (out August 18th on Hydra Head Records) signifies that.

Keelhaul - Triumphantly Return To Obscurity

I’m not going to front – besides listening to a couple of tracks from previous albums, this was the first album of theirs I listened to front to back. But recently I had the great fortune of seeing them play in Brooklyn (a.k.a Hipster Hell) and their live performance – this is going to sound like an odd description of a band that consists of four thirty-something, very average dudes – was electrifying and refreshingly different.

Triumphant Return To Obscurity, out on Hydra Head Records, “picks up on the band’s progression as if they were steadily releasing records throughout their six year hiatus.

Keelhaul

Stolen lovingly from (our favorite blog) www.terrorizer.com:

Keelhaul have finally got around to announcing their new album, ‘Keelhaul’s Triumphant Return To Obscurity. It’s out August 18th through Hydra Head.

According to their website:

“Keelhaul’s ‘Triumphant Return to Obscurity’, is not just a clever name for an album marking a band’s return from obscurity, it’s an album title for a band’s release marking that same band’s return from obscurity, innit?

Chris Smith, Aaron Dallison, Dana Embrose, and Will Scharf have been at it as Keelhaul for over ten years and it shows. This record picks up on the band’s progression as if they were steadily releasing records throughout their six year hiatus
