Protokoll 19 release second single ‘Connect’ from new album
Protokoll 19
Tampa-based electro-industrial act Protokoll 19 released their new single “Connect”. The track is self-released.
Issued digitally, “Connect” is the second single from the band’s forthcoming full-length album “Somewhere Between Purgatory and Hell”, scheduled for release on Danse Macabre Records. The band states that the new track explores mental health from a different perspective than its predecessor, describing it as “a spiritual journey in a dream” and as a conceptual contrast to the previous single “When Will It End”.
Musically Protokoll 19 combine harsh synthesizers, distorted beats, and aggressive vocals. Their lyrics draw on themes of occultism and psychological struggle.
“Connect” is available now on major streaming platforms, including Bandcamp and Spotify.
