There is a limited version available on clear vinyl. In Spring 2017, Uniform was
asked to support fellow noisy, boundary-pushing duo The Body for a European
tour. Having been longtime fans of the band, Uniform vocalist Michael Berdan
and guitarist Ben Greenberg jumped at the opportunity. During the planning phase
of the tour, Berdan and Lee Buford from The Body started corresponding
regularly. Ultimately, Berdan asked Buford if he and The Body cofounder Chip
King would be interested in making a collabªorative record with Uniform.
Buford enthusiastically assented, and the seed of "Mental Wounds Not Healing"
was sown. A few months after the genesis of the idea, Berdan and Greenberg went
to the legendary underground Providence studio Machines With Magnets, where
The Body were finishing up work on their latest LP. King and Buford had a ton
of cool beats and music ready that Berdan played synth bass lines over. Greenberg
then played guitar over Berdan's bass lines, and the songs began to take shape.
After the Machine With Magnets session, engineer Seth Manchester sent
Greenberg stems of the tracks to work on back in Brooklyn. Berdan recorded
vocals in the hallway of Greenberg's tiny apartment, and the raw intensity of that
makeshift session served as the perfect counterpoint for King's unmistakable voice.
Effectively, every song on "Mental Wounds Not Healing" is a duet between Berdan
and King. The collaboration pushes both bands far beyond their roots in industrial
music and metal, creating an immersive listening experience that truly transcends
genre. The title of the record is a line stolen from the chorus of Ozzy Osbourne's
"Crazy Train." Most of the titles are culled from horror literature and cinema, with
specific nods to Shirley Jackson, Jack Ketchum, and Elem Klimov. Thematically, the
songs have to do with feeling trapped in one's own mind, projecting images over
and over again of a future in shambles before it even gets a chance to hapªpen. It is
about hopelessness, anxiety, and depression so familiar that they seem like
permanent fixtures of one's psyche and identity.
