Check Out: New Order – “Hellbent”

By Michael Roffman on May 18th, 2011 in Check Out, News

“There’s a light in your eyes, that I can’t seem to reach,” Bernard Sumner croons on “Hellbent”, the unreleased track that supports next month’s Joy Division/New Order collection, Total. With a silky underbelly, grinding distortion, and some club-ready synths, the track oozes of early ’90s confused decadence. You know? That awkward transition from the glamour of the ’80s into the lounge-y melancholia of the ’90s. Oddly enough, the track seems stripped from New Order’s later era, specifically 2005′s Waiting for the Sirens’ Call. Whatever the case, it’s a pretty solid tune, one that excels over anything either musician – Mr. Sumner or Peter Hook – have done since. Check it out below (via Slicing Up Eyeballs).

Total: from Joy Division to New Order hits streets on June 14th.

     Very good song, New Order is an awesome band, I hope that they get back together. They always make great music from Joy Division, New order, Electronic, Monaco, The other two, Bad Lieutenant and Freebass. They have created too much good music for the world to hear.
