After having released their debut album Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me this January, The Mute Gods are back at it again with the announcement of their brand new record …Tardigrades Will Inherit The Earth.

Formed of Nick Beggs, Marco Minnemann and Roger King the band released their excellent album this year. Having worked with Steven Wilson, Steve Hackett, Gary Numan, John Paul Jones, the list is endless… Nick Beggs is in a word, the man. Addressing issues that are current Beggs wanted to look towards more political standpoint, the artist speaks out :

I know I’m not the only person who feels the way I do, other people understand the state of the world and what’s at stake as we make one terrifyingly bad decision after an other. This album asks people to take off their rose-tinted spectacles and consider the reality facing us. At this point in my career, I feel strongly that it’s important to use music as a vehicle for truth, not just feel-good entertainment.”

Set for a February 24th release Taligrades Will Inherit The Earth sounds like it could be more in an aggressive vein. Mind you with the kind of back catalogue the man has had working with the best in the business its not doubt going to be another rollercoaster of a record.
