Greece’s heavy rock titans 1000mods return after four years and their acclaimed last album “Youth of Dissent” with their brand new single on all streaming platforms. “Overthrown” is an 8-minute juggernaut loaded with sharp metallic riffs, stomp-inducing grooves, Dani G’s singalong-ready vocals, plus a special appearance from Godsleep frontwoman Amie Makris on backing vocals. A fierce and heartfelt anthem that will win over all heavy music fans, old school and new!
Slated for a November 2024 release on Ouga Booga and the Mighty Oug Recordings (world) and Ripple Music (US), their highly anticipated fifth studio album “Cheat Death” is set to be their heaviest record to date, delivering ten powerful sonic statements packed with metal and punk influences while still delivering a few shiver-inducing gems along the ride. 1000mods are ready to trample upon the heavy rock world and take no prisoner, and you’d better be ready for it!
About the album theme, the band says: “In life, only death matters, and in music and arts most specifically, you can only realize life through death and vice versa. But what if you cheat death? What happens next? From Heraclitus to Camus, from Socrates to Nietzsche, sometimes we just reconsider how we approach things, life and death. We have to give our small lives a purpose as no one gives a fuck. And we must destroy the walls, limits and values to give it a reason because no one cares. That’s life, and that’s cheating death.”

It’s no wonder why 1000mods are considered one of Europe’s most iconic heavy rock bands worldwide. Since their genesis two decades ago, the Greek powerhouse has become a true staple of the international rock scene out thanks to their anthemic songcraft and hundreds of fire-driven live performances across the globe. From the early-day breakthrough of stoner rock milestones “Super Van Vacation” (2011) and “Vultures” (2014) to the overdriven rock’n’roll charge of “Repeated Exposure to…” (2016) and the ambitious alt-rock shift of “Youth of Dissent” (2020), 1000mods let the power of music speak for itself with their no-frills attitude and strong DIY ethics. Transcending genre boundaries and bringing together generations of faithful fans, 1000mods stands as a unique voice of hope and empowerment for those who are lucky to cross their path.
