Gatefold sleeve with limited edition red vinyl of the new album and including A Celebration of Endings (Live) on CDTracklist: �DumDum� �A Hunger in Your Haunt� �Denier� �Separate Missions� �Witch�s Cup� �Holy Water� �Errors in the History of God� �Haru Urara� �Unknown Male 01� �Existed� �Slurpy Slurpy Sleep Sleep�Biffy Clyro will release the surprise new project �The Myth of the Happily Ever After� on October 22nd. The record is a homegrown project that represents a reaction to their #1 album �A Celebration of Endings� and a rapid emotional response to the turmoil of the past year. It is the ying to the yang of �A Celebration�, the other-side-of-a-coin, a before-and-after comparison: their early optimism of 2020 having been brought back to earth with a resounding thud. It�s the product of a strange and cruel time in our lives, but one that ultimately reinvigorated Biffy Clyro.�This is a reaction to �A Celebration of Endings�,� says vocalist / guitarist Simon Neil. �This album is a real journey, a collision of every thought and emotion we�ve had over the past eighteen months. There was a real fortitude in �A Celebration� but in this record we�re embracing the vulnerabilities of being a band and being a human in this twisted era of our lives. Even the title is the polar opposite. It�s asking, do we create these narratives in our own minds to give us some security when none of us know what�s waiting for us at the end of the day?�Grounded by lockdown, Biffy Clyro recorded �The Myth� in a completely different way to how they approached �A Celebrations�. Rather than spending months in Los Angeles, they traded one West Coast for another by recording for just six weeks in their rehearsal room (converted DIY style into a fully functional studio by rhythm section brothers James and Ben Johnston) in a farmhouse closer to their homes.The trio went in with the intention of completing some unfinished songs from �A Celebration�, but instead �The Myth� took over as it started to take shape late in 2020, with everything written and recorded within a ten-mile radius. Traditionally, 90% of Biffy songs have been written in Scotland before the band head to London or Los Angeles for recording, but this represented the first time they�ve ever recorded in their homeland. As Simon jokes, �It�s our first full-on tartan album!��The Myth� blends experimental flourishes with flashes of old school Biffy. �Existed� is the moment that shaped the record an elegant expression of self-doubt that redefines the sonics of the band�s catalogue of vulnerable slowburners, while �DumDum� is an even bigger departure, having been constructed primarily around soft synths sampled from Simon�s voice. And �Slurpy Slurpy Sleep Sleep� is just as audacious a closer as �Cop Syrup� from �A Celebration�. It also represents one of a selection of �easter eggs� or �turns of phrase� that subtly complement and contrast the two records.At the other extreme, devoted fans will connect with the feral anger of �A Hunger In Your Haunt�, the arena-scaled drama of �Errors In The History of God� and the sheer catchiness of �Witch�s Cup�.�The Myth� has been launched alongside the new track �Unknown Male 01�. In six adventurous minutes, the band explore every facet they�re renowned for, taking in the unguarded emotion of its introduction, a skewed off-kilter breakdown, and a jagged, spiralling riff that builds towards a cataclysmic crescendo. The song reflects on friends who have taken their own lives.�When you lose people that you love deeply and have been a big part of your life, it can make you question every single thing about your own life,� he says. �Like a lot of creative people, I struggle with dark thoughts. If you�re that way inclined you realise you�re staring at darkness, but you don't want to succumb. Those moments don�t stop. As the song says, �The devil never leaves.� There�s never a day where you wake up thinking, �I feel great, it won�t cross me ever again.��A recurrin
