German punk duo Circolo Vizioso delivered their new single “Walls” yesterday.

The new song, which can be heard below, is aimed at Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Tony Scafidi (guitar, bass, drum, hi-hat, vocals) said this about working on the track, which features both German and English lyrics:

"The Bluesy guitar line let the cat completely out of the bag I guess. I was listening to a tonne of Blues and amazing bluesmen like Cedell Devis, R.L. Burnside, Johnny Farmer, who I learned about from an old Fat Possum Records documentary, and my bandmate Paul had an amazing text he had written against the war in Ukraine and the filthy growth of the extreme right wing movements in Washington and shortly later in Berlin, attacking Capitol Hill and the Reichstag. Paul walked into the rehearsing room while I was having a massive solo blues jam, started singing to it and off we went on to finish 'Walls' an hour later."

“Walls” comes from Circolo Vizioso’s forthcoming studio album Verrueckt, which is slated for a March 1 release. Pre-orders for the seven-track album can be made here.

Paul Geigerzaehler (violin, snare drum, vocals) said this about the forthcoming album:

"We wanted an album that could express anger, frustration and disaffection against an unfair world and all the discomfort entwined with that and we wanted to do it with direct and bare lyrics, abrasive violin lines, fat distorted guitar solos, and big fuzzy riffs. Yet we wanted people to dance to all this crazy world in a sort of self-exorcising dance, where one can head to bed with the feeling that they have at least sweat their daily demons out for the night."
