Spammerheads unveil new album ‘The Mire Chronicles’ inspired by the 2024 Valencia floods
Spammerheads
Valencia-based Industrial EBM duo Spammerheads return with their new album “The Mire Chronicles”, out October 16, 2025 via Banshees Records. The release – now available for pre-order on Bandcamp – captures a moment of crisis turned into creation, as the band channels the emotional aftermath of the October 2024 floods that devastated their home city.
During the floods, the duo lost part of their studio and took part in the cleanup efforts. “Those days inspired a deeply personal record filled with the emotions of shock, helplessness, fury, solidarity, and resilience,” the band says. Written as a kind of sonic diary, “The Mire Chronicles” explores how individuals and communities confront catastrophe and rebuild from it.
Featuring six tracks plus two digital bonus tracks, the album was composed, mixed, and produced by Spammerheads, mastered by Ruben Montesco, with Silicodisco mastering the digital versions. The artwork was designed by the duo, with photography by Cristina Del Barco. The release is a tribute to “the people and communities who face extreme situations and never give up.”
About Spammerheads
Spammerheads is an electronic music duo formed in Valencia, Spain, in late 2019. The project’s sound merges industrial, EBM, and punk influences with a socially grounded edge, evolving through each release in response to personal experiences and broader social contexts.
Their early work includes two cassette albums – “Espai, Temps i Materia” (HC Records, 2021) and “Bricks for Reconstruction” (Soil Records, 2021) – both offering minimalist, analog-driven production. Their third album, “Tar Blood / Cement Skin” (Soil Records, 2022), released in a limited pink vinyl edition of 300 copies, also included nods to early 1980s EBM.
In 2024, Spammerheads released “Disclaimer” (Soil Records), a full-length album featuring standout tracks like “Right to Fight”, “Human Hysteria” and “Love Shall Prevail.”
Spammerheads have contributed to various compilations and remixes, including the Days of Sorrow remix album (Banshees Records) and JG Outsider’s “Cruzier” (Oráculo Records). A recent collaboration with Catalan producer Nightcrawler resulted in the single “Ghostless”.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
