Greg Puciato (Dillinger Escape Plan) solo debut due in Oct.

Greg Puciato, whose résumé ranges from The Dillinger Escape Plan to The Black Queen, and metal supergroup Killer Be Killed, has set an October 23 release date for his solo debut album, Child Soldier: Creator of God. "I'd been writing for so many different projects, Dillinger, then The Black Queen, and Killer Be Killed...and I just kept on writing," explains Puciato of the 15-song album that sees him singing and performing all instruments, save the drums. "It felt as if I had more to say, but nothing that necessarily filled the script of those bands, so I ended up with something that I found to be intensely personal and super satisfying, but also confusing as far as what to do with it. When I realized that it was a solo release, it was sort of an 'oh that's interesting' moment, both terrifying and exciting at once, and challenging, and new, and that combo is almost always a good sign, so I committed to it. It's important to continue taking risks in order to grow both your creativity and your future possibilities, to create new avenues and freedoms for yourself, and it also felt like a good time for me to integrate and own everything that I am into one thing, without fragmentation or limitation. I needed to come out from telling myself that I always have to be 'guy in a band,' and to release this as my own name." Puciato has now issued "Do You Need Me To Remind You?," a third single from the collection. A video for the track made its online debut today via Revolver. Child Soldier: Creator of God was recorded in Los Angeles in 2019 and 2020. The album was produced by Nick Rowe (Vampire Weekend, Haim) and mixed by Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Cure). Participating drummers are Ben Koller, Chris Pennie, and Chris Hornbrook.
