NOISEPICKER premiere skater-fueled “Tomorrow Lied The Devil” video on 27th Feb at 5pm

Taken from new album The Earth Will Swallow The Sun, ‘Tomorrow Lied the Devil’ is released on Exile on Mainstream on 21st March.

Noisepicker, the crazy duo of Harry Armstrong, who’s band history includes Hangnail, Firebird, Orange Goblin and Blind River on vocals and guitar and Kieran Murphy on drums share their homemade, skater-fueled video for “Tomorrow Lied The Devil” ahead of the release of their second record, The Earth Will Swallow The Sun, out 21st March 2025 via Exile on Mainstream.

The video will be premiered at 5pm on Thursday 27th February 2025.

Album preorders are available now via the band’s Bandcamp here and via Exile on Mainstream’s webshop here.

With more than a quarter of a century of noise making history behind him, Harry Armstrong returns alongside drummer Kieran Murphy, as the duo Noisepicker, for this brawny new release.

Harry Armstrong says;

“Just like our music, all our videos are homemade, organic and completely free from ‘AI’. We create 100% of our art and stand by all of its flaws. And we have the scars to prove it! This video was filmed in London at the historic ruins of the Crystal Palace, which burned to the ground in 1936. The ruins are surrounded by some of the smoothest concrete in England, and contain much of the skin I lost learning to skate as a child. This video combines our love of noise and skateboards. An idea that was originally written off as logistically impossible – Somehow mounting all our equipment onto skateboards and capturing it like a live performance? Madness. But the seed had been sown, and we just had to try. The result is ‘Tomorrow Lied The Devil’. The bruises that cover our limbs tell the truth. Skate and create.”

Also known as the current bass player in Orange Goblin, you may well have caught Armstrong on countless festival line ups, experimenting with sounds in bands such as the hard rock of Blind River, the thrash metal of End Of Level Boss, the piano-led jazz rock of The Earls Of Mars, getting his stoner fix in Hangnail and Firebird (alongside Bill Steer and Ludwig Witt), the instrumental soundscapes of The Winchester Club, the death metal of Decomposed, to name just a few.

Having released their first album Peace Off via Exile On Mainstream in 2018, other commitments put Noisepicker on a slight hiatus, until the pair succumbed to the ever-growing pile of un-used riffs, and dusted them off to begin to work on what would eventually become their second full-length release.
In true DIY style, Armstrong took on the challenge of writing, recording and mixing this new record entirely himself, with recording sessions taking place in rehearsal rooms, and mixing sessions in his kitchen – and was assisted only in the mastering, which was handled by Stefan Brüggemann. The Earth Will Swallow The Sun has Amstrong’s auditory fingerprints all over it – this record is truly lived in, rough around the edges, and all the better for it. Do not expect neat, polished, note perfect, carefully constructed sound. Noisepicker are loud and abrasive. They pay homage to the genres which made them fall in love with music in the first place – doom, punk and blues – and bring it all together in a hearty and heavy concoction that is all their own.

Exile On Mainstream will release The Earth Will Swallow The Sun on March 21st, digitally and on audiophile virgin Black Vinyl LP with a bundled CD. Find physical preorders for the EU at the label webshop, digital and physical preorders for the UK at Bandcamp, and digital presaves here.
