The Flavor That Kills

media release: Delivering a mix of rock, soul, melody, punk, and a dash of classic psychedelic sensibilities, The Flavor That Kills released their edgy, genre-fluid album Book of Secrits (purposely misspelled) in 2024. Hard at work on their forthcoming follow up album, Thunderbird Lodge, the new single “Spin” is just a taste, and was released on all formats May 4, 2025.

The Madison, WI based unit is Ryan Corcoran-lead vocals, guitar, piano, Educational Davis-guitars, synthesizers, Christian Burnson-bass, vocals, synthesizers, Jon Paul-guitars and synthesizers, and Eric Hartz-drums and synthesizers.   

The band's fourth release, and first with new synthesizer/multi-instrumentalist Jon Paul, is set to be delivered in Winter 2025 on Shortwave Records. “Spin” was recorded in Madison at DNA studios and at Tiny Telephone in Oakland, California, by Beau Sorenson (Taylor Swift, Bob Mould, Superchunk) and mixed by Tom Lord-Alge (The Rolling Stones, Pink, Santana, Weezer, Peter Gabriel, Blink 182). 

The new album carries on where their previous album “Book of Secrits” left off, as the human civilization erodes into complete oblivion, destroyed by an endless abyss of unintended consequences. The single “Spin” is about the permutations of evil, and how a predator species will worship gods that use its parishioners as prey.
