the_Network Album Details, Unveils New Track from “Bishop Kent Manning”

THE_NETWORK are all jazzed to release their next big one, Bishop Kent Manning. Their second album will be out on September 15 on Black Market Activities. Produced by Kurt Ballou (Converge, Trap Them) at Godcity Studio and mastered by Nick Zampiello (Torche, Unsane) at New Alliance.

Bishop Kent Manning is a concept album that follows the epic story of a corrupt televangelist’s decline. Opening with the desperate cry, “I just got caught blood-redhanded selling absolution for a lion’s share,” the album tells its tale through ten tracks that veer seamlessly from jagged aggro chaos to haunting melody and back again.

To celebrate the upcoming release of Bishop Kent Manning, Black Market Activities unveils “You Fucking Fakes,” a song that embodies the spirit of the new album and gives a taste of how far the_Network has evolved. Stream “You Fucking Fakes,” here.
