Trailblazing industrial trio HEALTH have released their new album, CONFLICT DLC, via Loma Vista Recordings. The band have also revealed the music video for their current single ANTIDOTE.
After announcing the album in September this year, HEALTH are finally unleashing their hotly anticipated sixth studio album CONFLICT DLC. A stack of 12 full-octane industrial metal songs, this exhilarating new album sees HEALTH continue to explore deep existential undercurrents through a borderless genre lens. A slate of sad bangers for the end times, CONFLICT DLC finds connection in the disconnect and comfort in the dark.
Their unapologetically heavy sound has run from harsh electronic noise beginnings through gale-force industrial pop to their previous album, RAT WARS – yet what unites HEALTH’s music is its root of depressive weight and maximalist aesthetic intensity. Heavy riffs and blistered snares rain down like boulders on singles ORDINARY LOSS and VIBE COP, while the dance-friendly beat of SHRED ENVY and yearning thrust of THOUGHT LEADER demonstrate a newfound embrace of bouncing between modes in the same track. Pop jams transition into heavy breakdowns transition, into suspended ambience – a sonic mirror for the chaos of modern life.
Speaking about the record, lead singer Jake Duzsik explains: “It’s a strange potpourri. It’s more fun, faster, heavier and more sad all at the same time, which has its own strange relationship to how life is now anyway… except the more fun part.”
