Paul just announced a new single, which he’s taking pre-orders for.

There’s also a video on Facebook where he says he’s doing a Lead Into Gold tour in March. Maybe he can get Trent back on guitar.
Great! More LIG is always welcome. Not into vinyl, but will buy digital tracks if available. Thanks for sharing 
I was going to post this so thanks. I ordered it. [tongue]
just snagged it myself. more than happy to support paul and all these guys.
is paul going to give us digital version of the 21-inch in addition to the other two tracks?
Download to be released next week.
You know I’m in. Excited to hear this!
Listening now…3 tunes
Reminds me of NIN b-side stuff…
Two of them are shorter instrumental re-works of other tracks. But all nice stuff, and a great bonus for preordering something I’d have easily bought anyway.
should we assume these were things he threw together for a video game?
That’s what he said. No idea what game it was. Something from 2006 or so.
Digging this!
Interesting. I’d like to know what game this was for.
Didn’t he and Roland do score work for some PC game in the mid-90s? I had never heard of it but I remember the artwork making it look like one of those million Doom-esque games people were pumping out back then. Anyone know what I’m talking about?
Reminds me of how Nivek Ogre and Mark Walk did collaborative score work for some generic space-shooter PC game in like 1995 that was essentially ohGr years prior to ohGr.
RE: Trent, it would be pretty neat to see him collaborate with someone from the Ministry camp again, and it seems even more likely now that Paul’s thrown his hat in with Maynard James Keenan. Last time someone Ministry-related showed up on something with Trent was, what, Rieflin on the Fragile back in 99?
The 90’s game was ZPC (Zero Population Count). It was sort of a Doom-style game. I have it somewhere.
This is great. Really enjoying this.
I have a confession… I felt like a jack ass because I couldn’t find the files (after adding them to my audio player) due to the band name being PAUL ION BARKER instead of Lead into Gold. I must have re-added them about 5 times before i figured it out.
And the Ogre video game was called Descent.
I bought it not knowing about his involvement and freaked out when I recognized the work.

KMFDM’s artist Brute designed that one. I always wanted to play it but never did.

That’s pretty cool. I love that guy’s style! I would play a game with KMFDM art for sure.
