Cyprus-based Heavy Alternative Rock Band The Ladderman showcase their explosive, groove-based signature sound equally inspired by progressive rock, 90’s rock and modern stoner/desert rock on new album “Figures on Demand”, out April 21, 2023 on streaming platforms. Fans of classic hard rock artists like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Stone Temple Pilots as well as modern stoner and heavy rock like All Them Witches, Graveyard and Elder will enjoy this collection of punishing electric gusto. Dishing out ample servings of melody and menace, The Ladderman find balance in organized chaos on “Figures on Demand”.

“The majority of songs on this LP were written during the pandemic where we had time to self reflect and lay out our frustration politically with all that was happening during that period in Cyprus, (political corruption/pandemic)

This album has a more atypical song structure with the vocal delivery being quirky in terms of phrasing. Diving into a more atmospheric sound as well as keeping our love for odd meters and bluesy riffs.”

“Figures on Demand” is The Ladderman‘s 3rd album, and it’s themes venture wholeheartedly into the band’s experiences, thoughts and feelings through the pandemic isolation over the past three years. The music combines and transcends styles in order to capture complex emotions and create a modern and relevant backdrop.

Order “Figures on Demand” on Bandcamp.
