Pitchshifter release "EFKD 2020" EP

At the start of 2020, Pitchshifter got some friends together to re-record “Un-United Kingdom.” Months later, the band didn’t realize how different the world would become. This led to them re-recording another old track.

Released today, Pitchshifter have unveiled their re-recorded version of “Everything’s Fucked,” which stems from their 2000 studio album Deviant. In a statement, vocalist JS Clayden said:

“I thought that everything was as messed up as it was going to get in the year 2000 when we originally released the ‘Everything’s F**ked’ single; but we're two decades down the road and the lyrics are still applicable. We’re living in a slow-motion apocalypse. What better way to finally jockey clown ship earth off the bluffs than a re-issue of a 20-year-old tune lamenting the madness with a bunch of like-minded deviant provocateurs, and some live dates?”

The EFKD 2020 EP, which you can stream below, features a slew of guest appearances from Zak Tell (Clawfinger), Tony Campos (Static X), Patrik Wiren (Misery Loves Company), Frank Turner, Jason Bowld (Bullet For My Valentine), Arya Goggin (Skindred), Burton C Bell (Fear Factory), Jot Maxi (Hacktivist), Adam Frakes-Sime (Stamping Ground), Karl Middleton (Earthtone 9), Paul Fletcher (Romeo Must Die), Mikee Goodman (Sikth), Dan Cook (Raging Speedhorn), Frank Regan (Raging Speedhorn), Kit Conrad (Seething Akira), and Charlie Bowes (Seething Akira).

Pitchshifter also announced a slew of headlining shows across the U.K. this fall. Tickets for these shows go on sale next Friday (July 31).
