PRIMUS will release Primus & the Chocolate Factory - a concept album honoring the 1971 Gene Wilder-starring Willy Wonka film by remaking its wild music in this band's odd image. Now we have the pleasure of handing you the 'Golden Ticket'.

Heard below, that memorable cut from the film is reborn with help from bounding bass, chiming vibes, Claypool's deep warble, and a handful of eerie effects — taken all together, this is the aural march of a demented carnival barker leading a band of skeletons weilding toy instruments.

Primus & the Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble, marking the first album in 20 years to feature the band’s classic lineup of Les Claypool, Larry LaLonde, and Tim “Herb” Alexander, is due out October 21st via ATO Records.

The band is currently on the road with Tool drummer Danny Carey, with the last date set for Riot Fest Denver later this month. In October, the band will be joined by longtime stick swinger Tim “Herb” Alexander when they embark on the proper “Primus and the Chocolate Factory” tour.
