Bass Drum of Death – bio 2025 Bass Drum of Death is getting back to basics. From the bare-bones title of their sixthrecord—SIX—to the writing approach—their first two LPs were recorded entirely onGarageBand—the creative process for the group is strikingly similar to the early stages of theircareer. While the new album marks a return to their original recording method, there are a fewnotable changes. Instead of working solo on the demos, frontman John Barrett and the band(Jim Barrett, guitar; Ian Kirkpatrick, drums) convened for several sessions in Barrett’s homestudio in Nashville to bring the songs to life. Manning the faders was producer JeremyFerguson (Cage the Elephant, White Reaper), who then hosted the band for ten snowy days offine tuning at his Battle Tapes studio. The result is a scuzzy blast of their signature sound, withinfluences ranging from The Stooges to ZZ Top and very much aided by Ferguson’s deftengineering touch. If SIX sounds like a return to form, the band proves they still have a few tricksin their pockets and things up their sleeves.
