Tracklist
Chicago industrial metal outfit DOPE have released a video teaser showcasing the brand new track titled "Drug Music" to be featured on the band's 6th self-produced Full-length titled "Blood Money," scheduled for release in March of 2014. Speaking publicly for the first time in four years, founder and front man Edsel Dope weighs in what fans can expect:

"It sounds like Dope. But it's next level. It's Dope in 2014. With every record, the chemistry changes, the band changes and the sound expands. I'm really happy with how it's turning out. It's heavy, it's pointed, it's punk, pissed off, angry, electronic, noisy, melodic and metal. It picks up where 'No Regrets' left off and yet somehow has a lot of the punk / industrial energy of the early Felons and Revolutionaries stuff. It's Dope. And like all Dope, it's best when played extremely loud and while traveling at dangerously high speeds.
We'll be putting out more of these teaser clips as we get closer to 2014."

DOPE is returning after a four year hiatus that concluded after touring alongside BLACK LABEL SOCIETY & SEVENDUST following the release of the bands 5th album "No Regrets." "Truth is, after 13 years of non-stop recording and touring with Dope, I was burnt and I just needed a break from it all," says Edsel.
He continues, "I'm ready to go now! I’m excited to get out there and re-connect with the fans and with that energy and feeling of being on tour.

We are gonna do a month worth of shows and lose our fuckin' minds before I slide back into the studio and put the finishing touches on the new album."

During the short break, Dope’s 4th Full-length "American Apathy" eclipsed one hundred thousand units sold in the US. Edsel continues, “selling 100 thousand records now days is incredibly respectable. Its awesome to Know that our albums keep moving month after month on iTunes and in what few record stores still exist on planet earth. It's pretty fuckin' cool to gradually reach these milestones. It is extremely gratifying."
