Powerplant - Bridge Of Sacrifice [Colored Vinyl] [New Vinyl]

Rusty Red Vinyl. Powerpant, the solitary project of Ukraine-born, London-based Theo Zhykharyev, is distinguished by it's giddy bass, sizzling synth lines and melancholic vocal hooks. Both sonically and thematically the Powerplant project is ever evolving - after the lo-fi synth-punk of 2019's breakout debut album, People in the Sun came an instrumental 2022 dungeon-synth release Stump Soup. The kaleidoscopic Grass EP (2023) was followed by last year's 80's rock explorations on the moody Crashing Cars 7"" and the return to formula Michael Mann-inspired Heat EP. Powerplant's newest endeavor is the Bridge of Sacrifice - a fun, black metal infused journey through all that is heavy and gothic, whilst keeping the foundation of adored pop-songwriting and melodic vocal hooks.The synth-punk debut album 'People in the Sun' took the internet by storm in 2019. It's fuzzy melodies landed it on 'Best of...' lists by Pitchfork and Bandcamp, receiving nods from Iggy Pop and Henry Rollins.Zhykharyev assembled a live band of London's best, featuring members of Island of Love, Hitmen and Arms Race. They tour far and wide, selling out shows in Japan, Australia, US, Scandinavia and everything in between.Powerplant's ferocity was captured on KEXP live in-studio session, and appeared at festivals like End of The Road, Outbreak and Fluff Fest, as well as shared the stage with cult rockers OSees, Show Me The Body and Ovlov.Powerplant moves at it's own accord, always morphing into something more dynamic and unpredictable. With each addition to the catalog, Zhykharyev throws new sonic mutations in the mix. It's never the same, but always 100% Powerplant.
