Known for using entirely metal sounds, the duo M.C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel will be releasing the new album titled Metallic Life Review on June 20. This includes sounds of pots, metal tape, aluminum cans, and other metals.

Complete tracklist of Metallic Life Review

Metallic Life Review will consist of six songs. The band has already released their first song off the album, called Changing States, which is dedicated to late American composer Susan Alcorn. The song is now available on streaming platforms, including Spotify.

Drew Daniel gave details about the song by adding,

"We have the sounds of plucking the metallic gates around a tomb recorded in an underground crypt, the sound of cemetery gates, and the death of Susan Alcorn and the death of David Lynch occurred as we completed the album. We had already mixed the music with Susan before she passed, and we dedicate “Changing States” to her."

The other five tracks are as follows:

• Norway Doorway
• The Rust Belt
• Steel Tongues
• The Chrome Reflects Our Image
