The project, helmed by Jon Weisnewski (Sandrider, Akimbo) and Coady Willis (High On Fire, Melvins, Murder City Devils), began as a chaotic lockdown experiment in 2020 fusing Gary Numan‘s synth-driven sheen with Carcass‘s grinding aggression, and has since evolved into a broader collaborative venture.
Weisnewski shared the following:
Nuclear Dudes started as ‘something to do’ during the pandemic. Turns out it’s real sticky. It’s become a consistent project that is exploring metal/grind, synth, and collaborating with musicians I love and admire.
Coady and I started planning this release in 2023 and both worked on it on the side through 2024,. Coady recorded all the drums at his own studio. I recorded all instruments and vocals at my house or practice space in Seattle, Washington.
Some songs I wrote isolated and Coady played to them (‘Skeletal Blasphemy,’ ‘Fully Clothed,’ ‘Still Afraid’), and some songs were a drum part that Coady put together that I layered music on top of (‘Tastes Like Medicine,’ ‘The Octopus’). It was a pretty creatively unrestricted project in that sense.
The album’s title track, “Skeletal Blasphemy,” is out now and streaming below.
