When a band comes up with a new genre like doombrass, you accept that they're music is going to be unique and a little strange. With their latest single, Eight Foot Manchild have pushed the boundaries of their own genre even further. "Tanas Root" is an absolute epic packed into three and a half minutes. The song sounds like Frank Zappa meets Alice Cooper while playing around with prog rock... but also with a horn section. It's gloriously dark and still metal as hell, with an added burst of theatricality. Eight Foot Machild's music has always had a dark streak, but in a truly fun way. It's not sit around and mope dark, but party dark. It might not make sense to everyone, and that's ok. Not everyone needs to get the doombrass sound of Eight Foot Manchild, but your life will be even better once you do.
You can listen to "Tanas Root" below. Do Spirits Return? is due out October 4. For more on Eight Foot Manchild, check out the band on Facebook and Instagram.
