We feel like we have put together our most diverse and interesting record ever. All boxes have been checked in the strange universe that is POWERMAN 5000 with this one, and we can't wait for everyone to hear it." Brian Perera, owner of Cleopatra Records, declares: "We've been fans of POWERMAN 5000 for years, watching how they have stuck to their guns throughout their career and maintained a high level of creative ambition and risk.

This new album is really going to shock the world and we are honored to be releasing it." POWERMAN 5000's latest album, "New Wave", was released in October 2017 via Pavement Entertainment. Last year, POWERMAN 5000 celebrated the 20th anniversary of its most successful album, "Tonight The Stars Revolt!", by embarking on a U.S. tour.
