You might think you know Alien Ant Farm. Think again. Almost a decade after their last album, 2014’s ‘Always And Forever’, the SoCal alt-metal four-piece - vocalist Dryden Mitchell, guitarist Terry Corso, bassist Timmy P, and drummer Mike Cosgrove - have returned with ‘~mAntras~’. It’s a record that will not only challenge your preconceptions of the band but will also firmly reassert their place in world. The band’s sixth full-length, it was shaped by personal change and growth, and it represents as close to a new beginning as a band first formed in 1996 can get.
After such a long time without making new music, there’s obviously a lot for them to catch up on. As it happens, they’d actually tried to do this earlier. The band had recorded four of its songs a number of years before - including “Everything She wAnts”, a cover of the classic Wham! Track that was first released in 2020 - but then things kind of stuttered because of the pandemic.
Alien Ant Farm have encountered a lot of that adversity since blowing up in 2001 with two iconic songs—first their own composition, “Movies”, and then their classic, generation-defining cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” - but none more so between the release of ‘Always And Forever’ and this record. It’s no surprise, then, that a lot of it has been captured on the 11 tracks that make up ‘~mAntras~’.
