About the album theme, 1000mods comments: “The concept behind ‘Cheat Death’ draws heavy inspiration from the myth of Sisyphus as interpreted by Albert Camus. It grapples with the weight of existence itself, the absurdity of life, and how, despite the inherent meaninglessness, one can still find a way to survive, even thrive, in the face of that burden. In this endless cycle, Camus imagines Sisyphus happy, for it is in the acceptance of absurdity and the understanding that life has no grand meaning, that true freedom lies. The struggle and continuous act of pushing the rock is what gives life its value.
Similarly, ‘Cheat Death’ explores how one can confront the crushing weight of everyday life, the recurring cycles of effort and failure, and still find meaning in that struggle. Each song reflects the existential tension between the burden of existence and the resilience required to keep going and “cheat” death by refusing to give in to the despair of the absurd. It’s in the resistance, the daily struggle, and in defying the weight of existence itself that we cheat death.” Don’t miss their their latest video “Overthrown“!

It’s no wonder why 1000mods are considered one of Europe’s most iconic heavy rock bands worldwide. Since their genesis two decades ago, the Greek powerhouse has become a true staple of the international rock scene out thanks to their anthemic songcraft and hundreds of fire-driven live performances across the globe. From the early-day breakthrough of stoner rock milestones “Super Van Vacation” (2011) and “Vultures” (2014) to the overdriven rock’n’roll charge of “Repeated Exposure to…” (2016) and the ambitious alt-rock shift of “Youth of Dissent” (2020), 1000mods let the power of music speak for itself with their no-frills attitude and strong DIY ethics. Transcending genre boundaries and bringing together generations of faithful fans, 1000mods stands as a unique voice of hope and empowerment for those who are lucky to cross their path.
Slated for a November 8th release on Ouga Booga and the Mighty Oug Recordings (world) and Ripple Music (US), their highly anticipated fifth studio album “Cheat Death” is set to be their heaviest record to date, delivering ten powerful sonic statements packed with metal and punk influences while still offering a few shiver-inducing gems along the ride. 1000mods are ready to trample upon the heavy rock world and take no prisoner, and you’d better be ready for it.
Fist-pumping crushers such as the “Speedhead” or “Götzen Hammer” (with incendiary guest appearances from Godsleep and Frenzee frontwomen) see the band charging ahead and take no prisoner with sharp metallic riffs and an uncompromising punk flair, whereas the melodic grandeur of “Astral Odor” or “Misery” makes for haunting and soul-stirring rock journeys. Driven by Dani G’s impassioned and singalong-ready vocals, “Cheat Death” is a fierce and heartfelt ode to hope and freedom that will make every listener want to break their chains and raise horns in unison!
