Futuristic metallists Powerman 5000 have been plotting their next move for the

past few years, and their latest step towards a global takeover is upon us, in the

form of 'Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere.' The album dropped from the

solar system on October 6th (via Mighty Loud!/Fontana), and as judged by such

song titles as "Super Villain," "V is for Vampire," "Horror Show," and "Get your

Bones," 'Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere' is bound to be another gnarly

slice of PM5K.

"We made this record with a clear vision and a purpose," explains frontman,

Spider. "We wanted to reclaim a sound we created and represent certain influences

as only a band like Powerman 5000 can. While writing, we would watch

'Godzilla' or 'Ultraman' films to ensure the sonics were on point. We knew that

this record needed to sound like the footsteps of a giant robot!"

"On the surface, this album is a big fun electro metal romp...though there are

bigger concepts hidden within. A quote from HG Wells sums it up best, he said,

'Man is the unnatural animal, the rebel child of nature.' That is an ongoing theme

in the songs, our inability to find a place in our own world. I couldn't be happier

with the results. I finally feel like we have made a record that not only is exactly

wanted we wanted it to be, but also a record that the fans are going to love!"

Originally formed in 1991, PM5K has been led from the beginning by Spider (who

also goes by the nom de plum "Spider One"). In the process, the group has built a

large and loyal fanbase, on the strength of such hit albums as 'Tonight the Stars

Revolt!' and 'Transform' (all of which landed in side the top 30 of the Billboard

Album Charts), as well as the radio favorites "Supernova Goes Pop," "Nobody's

Real," and "When Worlds Collide." Spider and company plan on hitting the road

hard in support of their seventh release overall - get prepared for a total assault of

the senses!
