Head Automatica, led by Glassjaw frontman Daryl Palumbo, returned last fall for an epic reunion tour, and today they’ve shared a moody industrial-rock song, “Bear The Cross,” which marks their first new music since 2006’s Popaganda.
“To me, ‘Bear The Cross’ is both a logical and unexpected evolution of Head Automatica’s sound,” Palumbo says. “The sounds and ideas are very familiar but age undeniably changes your personality, creative leanings, and approach. There is an urgency and boldness in what you feel empowered to produce after a certain point. ‘Bear The Cross,” and our new material on the whole, are a reflection of that while still constantly maintaining a body moving element.”

The song comes just in time for a handful of shows, including the band’s first NYC performance in over a decade, as well as an appearance at Slam Dunk Festival in the U.K.
