“NUCLEAR DUDES still have plenty going on to justify drinking from their firehose of grinding synth turbo metal.” – Everything Is Noise

Truth Paste, the latest full-length from deranged electro powerviolence duo NUCLEAR DUDES is out now and streaming in its unhinged entirety!
Forged in 2022 by Jon Weisnewski, known best for his screams and string punishment in both Akimbo and Sandrider, NUCLEAR DUDES is a manic mix of extreme metal, synth-prog, powerviolence, and industrial noise and initially a prolific bedroom project that sated Weisnewski’s desire to write complex, bone-pureeing riffs and drum machine blasts. While previous full-length Boss Blades featured guest vocals from Dave Verellen of Botch and Irene Barber of Dust Moth, Truth Paste is the first record to feature vocalist Brandon Nakamura (Doomsday 1999, Cat Toy, Teen Cthulhu), who played with Weisnewski in the short-lived 2010’s grind act White Jazz. Originally brought on for live performances, Nakamura was recruited to perform most of the vocal duties for Truth Paste, with his scathing delivery and abstractly humorous lyrics punctuating the synthetic chaos and adding density to the massive riffs behind him.
Weisnewski admits that the new album was written to create an easier transition from record to live, but this move inadvertently created the band’s most impressive and memorable work yet. The mixture of noise, percussive beats, extreme metal, and movie samples makes this experience like a ‘90s rave where the candy necklaces have been replaced with bath salts.
Stream NUCLEAR DUDES’ Truth Paste HERE.

All songs on Truth Paste were written and recorded by Jon Weisnewski, mixed by Matt Bayles, and mastered by Ed Brooks, with vocals by Nakamura and Weisnewski. Truth Paste is a band following their own unstable path, presenting music that is fun, funny, and absolutely devastating.
The record is available digitally. Find orders at the official NUCLEAR DUDES Bandcamp page HERE.

“…insane and obtuse…” – Decibel Magazine
"…their most chaotic, hilarious, and aggressive release to date... Blending synth-heavy grind, absurdist humor, and teeth-rattling heaviness, the album marks a new era for the band as they evolve from a one-man studio project into a fully unhinged two-piece wrecking crew." – Capital Chaos
“Brandon Nakamura has proven to be a wonderful asset to the project as he enables it to go full goblin mode while Jon Weisnewski constructs the most elaborately Frankensteined grinding metal babies he can like they were neon-coated LEGO sets... Just don’t drink orange juice after listening to it." – Everything Is Noise
"There is a particular audience for this sound that revels in the abrasive and subversive. ‘Truth Paste’ isn’t for the masses, but I can easily imagine its target audience will absolutely love it." – Metal Digest
