<\/div>\n

British reggae outfit Steel Pulse unveiled the lead single, \u201cCry Cry Blood,\u201d for their first album in 15 years, Mass Manipulation<\/em>, out May 17th via Rootfire Cooperative and the band\u2019s own imprint, Wiseman Doctrine.<\/p>\n

\u201cCry Cry Blood\u201d is a meditative rocker with deftly placed horns, guitars and strings bubbling up above the song\u2019s thumping groove. Singer David Hinds\u2019 lyrics touch on injustice and violence, but end with a revolutionary call as he sings, \u201cThe whole world\u2019s taking advantage\/While we stand aside and look\/It was prophesied we\u2019d rise again\/Just take a second look.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mass Manipulation<\/em> marks Steel Pulse\u2019s first album since 2004\u2019s African Holocaust<\/em>. Hinds said of the new LP, \u201cFor when it comes to addressing the current issues of the world, we hope that this album will be able to sharpen the minds of man to uproot all negativity, and foster embracement; presenting each and every one of us a higher level of consciousness for a harmonious future.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the years since African Holocaust<\/em>, Steel Pulse has released a handful of singles such as \u201cPut Your Hoodies On (4 Trayvon),\u201d<\/a> in honor of Trayvon Martin, and \u201cPaint it Black,\u201d<\/a> which was released in 2013 to mark what would have been the 100th birthday of Rosa Parks.<\/p>\n

Steel Pulse will embark on a massive world tour<\/a> this spring in support of Mass Manipulation<\/em>. The group\u2019s North American leg kicks off March 30th at the Warfield in San Francisco and wraps May 3rd at the Beach Life Festival in Redondo Beach, California. The group will play a few additional festivals over the course of the summer, while they plan to announce more tour dates soon.<\/p>\n
