AFTERMATH Release Third Studio Album ‘No Time To Waste’
March 17th, 2023

Chicago, Illinois-based technical progressive thrash metal band Aftermath issued third full-length studio album No Time To Waste in March 17th, 2023 through Zoid Entertainment and INGrooves / The Label Group.

Frontman Kyriakos “Charlie” Tsiolis commented: “We are really proud of this album. It completes a trilogy of albums that began with our debut. Written in the darkest period in modern history, we actually wrote this one as an album of hope. We streamlined it from our previous dark concept record. The ten songs on this album are heavy and energized. It’s a metal record with a message and that message is we can do this together but we have no time to waste.”

The album includes a rendition of the John Lennon anti-war song ‘Give Peace A Chance’ which Aftermath previously released as a digital single on February 28th, 2020. The original version of ‘Give Peace A Chance’ was recorded by John Lennon and Yoko Ono and released under the Plastic Ono Band moniker in July 1969.

The track listing is as follows:

01. ‘No Time To Waste’
02. ‘Original Instructions’
03. ‘Transform & Disrupt’
04. ‘Up Is Down’
05. ‘SLAVeABLE (We’re Not Your Animals)’
06. ‘We Can Do This Together’
07. ‘Echo Chamber’
08. ‘Strawman In The House Of Cards’
09. ‘We Don’t Want A Riot’
10. ‘Give Peace A Chance’ (John Lennon cover)

Aftermath’s line-up is as follows:

Kyriakos “Charlie” Tsiolis (lead vocals)
Steve Sacco (guitar and backing vocals)
George Nektarios Lagis (bass and backing vocals)
Ray Schmidt (drums)

Directed by Alex Zarek, a music video was filmed for the track ‘We Can Do This Together’. In addition, official lyric videos were released for the title track and the songs ‘We Can Do This Together’ and ‘We Don’t Want A Riot (Radio Edit)’, while an alternate lyric video created by GH Lyric Video Productions was also issued for ‘No Time To Waste’. Meanwhile, animated lyric videos were released for the songs ‘Transform & Disrupt’ and ‘SLAVeABLE (We’re Not Your Animals)’. All seven clips can be viewed below.
