Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard now known as MWWB rescheduled the release of their new album »The Harvest«

Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard who have shortened their name to MWWB announced in January that they will reschedule the release of their forthcoming album »The Harvest« to April 2021. There is currently no date set for the release of their fourth full-length, which was originally supposed to drop on March 19th via New Heavy Sounds.

Recently, the band shared the official statement:
“You may have noticed a bit of radio silence from us this year, and that our next album has not yet been released.. We’d like to give you all an update. Dave (guitarist and riff writer) has been fighting for his life since the beginning of January, after contracting Covid and sadly suffering a stroke. He has been sedated for most of this time until recently. He has a very long road of recovery and rehabilitation ahead of him now… Words cannot describe how grateful we are to the doctors and nurses who gave Dave a fighting chance which allowed him to come out the other side. He is still currently in ICU but the leaps he has made since being woken has amazed everyone. It’s been a heartbreaking time of ups and downs, with good and bad days… but we’re just so glad to be delivering some positive news to you all. The only bad news is…the nurses put some MWWB on in the ward, but not all the patients liked it. So maybe we won’t be targeting hospitals any time soon… So, I now ask you to bombard Dave with your well wishes and love! Maybe some of you have memories you’d like to share of him or the band. Your comments will all be read out to him in hospital. Please also send even more love for his girlfriend Charlie and his son, Zeke, who have been nothing but amazingly strong through this time. Lastly, we will get the wheels in motion to deliver this new album to you We will put up a pre-order date when we have one. Our hearts and wishes go out to those who have been affected by this horrible virus… stay safe everyone and… THANK YOU.”

From New Heavy Sounds:

There has been some speculation that the final part of the trilogy of albums that preceded this, marked the end of Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard’s five-year mission. Not so.

We can categorically confirm that having officially slimmed their name down to the acronym, MWWB are continuing their voyage through the far reaches of the galaxy. The first phase of that journey is their new album »The Harvest« easily their finest most cohesive record to date.

»The Harvest« is set to land in deluxe vinyl with 2 different colour effect variants as well as CD and download.
