Constants’ fusion of disparate styles is one of the most organic yet. Instead of soft-loud-soft-because-Isis-do-it, Constants work through melodies, textures and rhythms with remarkable fluency. They love delay pedals (hello, U2!). They dig proggy odd meters. They would fit equally well on Equal Vision or InsideOut. If they want to catapult out of this lowly rag into Rolling Stone, they could do it. - Decibel Magazine
Boston's shoegaze-post-rock turned accessible indie-metal pioneers CONSTANTS have just announced the title to their forthcoming new album, "If Tomorrow The War," due out later this year on The Mylene Sheath. The band's new album was produced by Jesu / Godflesh mastermind Justin K. Broadrick and is the follow-up to their 2009 critically acclaimed full-length "The Foundation The Machine The Ascension."
Constants have also premiered two new songs from their forthcoming release, "Your Daughter's Eyes," and "The Sun, The Earth," that can be heard streaming on their website, ConstantSound.com. In addition, the band has covered Type O Negative's "Love You to Death," currently streaming on their Myspace page. Says Constants' guitarist and vocalist Will Benoit, "This recording is a nod of respect to Peter Steele, who in my opinion was one of the best and most under appreciated songwriters in rock history. His sense of irony was unmatched, and I've always been surprised at how few people understand that. He's one of those people that started influencing me so early on in my life that I just always assumed he'd always be there putting out records for me to enjoy..."
