"We love Mike and we will definitely be back with Mike," Bruce says, "but it's nice to take a break, too, and try some new avenues."
The hiatus with Clark is temporary, Bruce says. "New school beats with what we do, which is that old-school style." "Lost" has a modern sound, with pounding tracks that incorporate trap-style beats and EDM bass drops.
Insane clown posse the missing link lost cover full#
There were enough leftover tracks for an EP that the group will sell on tour, as well as a full CD of outtakes the group will sell through its website. Clark, the architect of ICP's sound going back to 1992's "Carnival of Carnage." Clark has been working with Kid Rock in recent years, and ICP turned to producers Brian Kuma and James "Otis" Garcia, of ICP underlings Axe Murder Boyz, to steer the new album. Songs like "Lost," "Apocalypse," "Shock" and "Explosions" hammer that theme home only in the album's closing moments - which preview "Found" - does the tone lighten up.įor the album, ICP didn't work with longtime collaborator Mike E. "Lost" encompasses "banger after banger of wickedness," Bruce says. (The "Found" album, however, is a lighter and more upbeat affair, Bruce says.)
The album - ICP's 13th studio album, and its first since 2012's "The Mighty Death Pop" - is ICP's darkest and heaviest output since 2004's "Hell's Pit" and forgoes the usual humor and cartoonish underpinnings that marks much of its material. "The Marvelous Missing Link" dives back into that pool, but don't expect a lot of hand-holding or sing-alongs. ("We're not sorry if we tricked you," the group sang in jubilation.) Insane Clown Posse - Violent J and his partner, Joey "Shaggy 2 Dope" Utsler - has addressed issues of spirituality before, most notably on 2002's "The Wraith: Shangri-La" when they revealed the group's entire Dark Carnival mythology had been a metaphor for God. Once you find your missing link, you find your faith, you find your salvation. Someone without belief, they can be bitter, they can be lost. "Have you ever known someone who has the holy ghost? They're all super happy and super positive? That person has found the link, they have belief, they have faith. "The 'Lost' record is the missing link between you and your salvation," says Bruce, his face covered in a thick layer of greasepaint.
