Gary Numan Unleashes New Album, Shares Apocalyptic New Song
The high-concept album deals with life in a "harsh, savage environment".
Gary Numan has announced his first album since 2013's Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind).
Savage (Songs From A Broken World) is a dystopian concept album set in a post-global warming hellscape where western and eastern cultures have melded together, technology has been lost, and "human kindness and decency are just a dim and distant memory".
Compounding these problems, religion resurfaces as a way for people to process the guilt resulting from their savagery, "and it really goes downhill from there", according to a press release from Numan's camp.
Numan also dropped a track from the album, which features backing vocals from his daughter Persia:
Numnan has announced a tour in support of the new album, which features dates across the UK, Europe and North America. No Irish dates are listed at present.
