Balkan underground legends The Thunder Corpses are re-emerging with a powerful new release: a remastered version of their fan-favorite single “The Skies of London”, leading the charge into their upcoming box set compilation, Songs We Died To.

Think early The Damned, Joy Division, or Jesus and Mary Chain, but reimagined with a slick, contemporary production reminiscent of Artemis. It’s gritty, addictive, and steeped in shoegaze textures with a darker, more urgent edge. Formed in the shadowy corners of the Balkan garage-surf scene, The Thunder Corpses gained early recognition with their debut album Somewhere Over the Black Bay.

Looking back now I just laugh.” Stream the new single here:Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/blind-season/how-they-see-youSpotify: Youtube:
