Admiral Angry - A Fire To Burn Down The World



One song. One twenty-four trek into death. Written by a man coming to terms with his own impending demise; Admiral Angry's 'A Fire To Burn Down The World' is a postmortem anthem to the band's fallen comrade and guitarist: Dan. Listening to this album is like drinking the blackest tea steeped in cold blood. A devastatingly primal adventure through the needle-scared underbelly of american life. If you want sincere anger in music then this is the place. This is raw and unhindered animosity and disgust distilled into musical form.

DIE



And now, a word from the band. Albeit this news is old I feel it's vastly appropriate to post this here for those not familiar with Admiral Angry.


Alright,

Since I don't have nearly enough time to respond to the e-mails about "the future of admiral" and since I don't want to play favorites, you ALL get to find out at the same time. August 15th we pack our amps and guitars and head to Wet 'n Dry studios to finally record A Fire to Burn Down the World. Soon after, the album will be packaged and distributed by Shelsmusic.

For those of you who are unaware of the situation the band is in, Daniel Kraus (or to those who knew him, THE Admiral) passed away earlier this year leaving us with one last piece of material, which is A Fire. This is not Buster pt. 2, nor is it ten songs sloppily put together to be forgotten. It's a mammoth of an album. One 30 minute long song, meant to punish you for all the bad things you've done in your bedroom. A Fire is not meant for everyone, but is being released for the one person that had the determination to set this world ablaze before he left it.

As for the aftermath, we are still determining whether we will be playing specific shows that have been offered to us...the main obstacle being funding. We are all honored by the surprising response to Buster, by both the fans and the media.

Finally, as a reminder, ALL of the profits earned from "Buster" and "A Fire to Burn Down the World" will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis fund. As it was, and as it always will be, we hope you find our music most unpleasant.
