Nuclear Daisies, recently announced their new album First Taste of Heaven, will drop on August 1st via Portrayal of Guilt Records. The band comprised of Rob Glynn (ex Temple of Angels), Alex Gehring (Ringo Deathstarr) and Robby Williams, have shared the LP’s lead single “Infinite Joy.” First Taste of Heaven is the follow up to their 2022 S/T debut which featured “Heaven In Your Head”. Nuclear Daisies will soon see its reissue via Portrayal of Guilt Records.

The Austin band has described First Taste of Heaven as a record “about life in all its glory and shroud– a post-apocalyptic journey through celebration, love, heartache, pain, acceptance and finally transcendence– physical, spiritual and even supernatural. And though the creation of the record was based on personal trials and tribulations, it also offered escapism from that same harsh reality in the form of catharsis and healing”.

First Taste of Heaven was recorded at Hungry Dog Sound & Studio in Austin, Texas with Williams at the helm over the course of a year. “I’d say it wasn’t specific productions but more specific vibes that we wanted to emulate,” specifies Williams. “We had clear visions of how we wanted certain songs to not only sound, but feel too– very sci-fi and dystopian. One song we wanted to feel like attending the vampire rave from ‘Blade’– tense, pulsing, but also a little bit dangerous. We wanted a different track to feel like the underground rave at the end of the world from ‘The Matrix’ – just sort of this lawless party of no rules at the end of days. There were also times when Alex would be in the booth and we’d say ‘sing it like you’re crying’ or ‘try it like a dead choir member.’ There are a lot of wild influences in there that come from disparate places and not just conventional ideas.”
