Protomartyr's latest song, its best yet, is a fierce and unforgettable shredder. "Why Does It Shake?" — from the Detroit band's upcoming album, The Agent Intellect -- rumbles and roars with a gritty chug as frontman Joe Casey stares down his own mortality. "Sharp mind, eternal youth / I'll be the first to never die / Nice thought / And I'm never going to lose it."
"Why Does It Shake?" is the first single from The Agent Intellect, due out Oct. 9 on Hardly Art. It's the band's third full-length album in as many years and follows Under Color Of Official Right, one of the best albums of 2014.
