Oliver Ackermann, lead singer and guitarist for A Place To Bury Strangers, is quite the creative mind. His explorations into sound and distortion have created the fuzz-driven music of A Place To Bury Strangers. But it was the mind of animator Karl Ackermann, brother of Oliver, who put this trippy visual take on “And I’m Up” together. Check out the beauty in the carnage after the jump. (more…)

Last week A Place To Bury Strangers released their third LP Worship to the waiting world. The band’s best album and work to date, Worship is a continuously rewarding journey that is relentless in its pursuit to frighten the senses and lure the listener into its dark world. There is something noticeably different on this album that brings the band to new heights, and you quickly start to realize that its the work of bassist Dion Lunadon. We caught up with Dion for an interview and podcast that digs deep into Worship and his role in the band, and also touches on some of the lighter aspects of being a world-traveling musician. (more…)
A Place To Bury Strangers last released an LP in 2009 with Exploding Head. They’ve kept themselves busy with three EPs during that time and a few awesome new FX pedals and gadgets from lead singer and creator Oliver Ackerman. Now we finally have our full album experience with the release of Worship. The album is disturbing, anxiety inducing (thank bassist Dion Lunadon for that), and at times eerily beautiful. Don’t get it wrong, this is heavy noise-rock but with a narrative that you can follow. But does the story and sound come together to make a masterpiece or convoluted mess? (more…)
A Place To Bury Strangers are fast approaching the release of their new album Worship on Dead Oceans on June 26th.

Today we have the second single from the album available for you- “And I’m Up”. A dizzying journey with an accessible tone but the classic fuzz of the band. (more…)
