Millencolin has set May 6th as the release date for their upcoming seventh studio album titled Machine 15.Â
While upholding the classic Millencolin sound, they chose to diversify, evolve and progress on the new album. The explosive result is pop infused punk at its all-time best with driving beats, anthemic choruses and irresistible melodies that prove the band is back to kick ass and take names.Â
“I think it’s great. It’s different from what we’ve done before and we’re stoked,â€Â guitarist Mathias Färm enthuses. A perfect example of this willingness to try new approaches is the first single “Detox — “Ripe with harmony vocals, an infectious melody that gives nods to both the Beatles and the Beach Boys, and seven chord changes,”
 Erik Ohlsson explains.
