Peter Kernel announces European tour

“Drum To Death,” the latest album by Swiss/Canadian Art-rock band is a collection of 11 experiments with their favourite drummers. The LP was published digitally on October 13th, 2023 through On The Camper Records, with CD and Vinyl pressings following in December 2023.

Throughout 2020-2023 Peter Kernel invited eleven of their most esteemed drummers to send them rhythms with which they composed these eleven tracks. Each song was written and dedicated to the inherent drummer as an ode of appreciation to the beat creator.

These eleven songs come together as a unique collection of an odd collaboration based on appreciation for different styles and people, a microworld made of different feelings, patterns, colours, intentions and attitudes.

The album features collaborations with Bernard Trontin (The Young Gods), Cosmic Neman (Zombie Zombie), Beatrice Graf, Domi Chansorn, Ema Matis, Tam Bor, Hugo Panzer, Julian Sartorius, Kevin Shea (Storm & Stress, Lydia Lunch), Simon Berz, Simone Aubert (Hyperculte, Massicot).

In 2024, starting January 31st, the band will perform a series of shows. If you are in Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, France, Italy and Belgium, don't miss them!
