Three years after issuing its critically-acclaimed "Vanishing Point" album, Primal Scream is gearing up to release its new LP, "Exterminator," a rough and raucous mix of Rage Against The Machine-style politics and the dance-based rhythms of Goldie.

Longtime admirers of such insurrectionist outfits as The MC5, The Clash, and Sly And The Family Stone, the members of Primal Scream opted to externalize their influences on "Exterminator," taking direct aim at the imperialist policies of both Britain and America.

Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie told MTV News that the seeds of the album's revolt were actually sown when Margaret Thatcher was elected as Britain's prime minister in 1979, and that the LP is a response, in part, to how her eleven-year term in office has continued to affect the U.K.

You had Reagan and then you had Bush, and they f***ed this place up as well. So if it's political... Well, you say 'political,' and it is angry, you know, but there's a lot of love there.

You've got to have a lot of love to be that angry,"[/article]

Gillespie also expressed disdain for the democratic process in both the U.K. and the U.S., suggesting that it is only a game of misdirection designed to keep the public from seeing who is really in control.

"America is like Britain," he said. "It's a one-party state. It's an illusion of democracy, and the governments are merely administrators on behalf of multi-national corporations." [RealVideo]

Primal Scream has just completed a video for "Kill All Hippies," which is tentatively planned to be the first U.S. single from "Exterminator." The band is close to signing a U.S. distribution deal with Astralwerks Records, which hopes to issue "Exterminator" in early May.
