Industrial noisemakers HEALTH have taken the wraps off of their new studio album, “RAT WARS“. The Los Angeles trio aim to have that record out on December 07th through Loma Vista Recordings, and have just issued a pair of singles from it.
Among those tracks is “CHILDREN OF SORROW“, which features a guest spot from Lamb Of God guitarist Willie Adler. A video directed by James Markidis was shot for that track and will debut at a later date. Also making its way out into the world is the song “SICKO“, a track which samples Godflesh‘s “Like Rats“. Mynxii White-directed a future music video for that single. A preview of both videos can be found below.
Stint (Oliver Tree, Demi Lovato) produced this new album, while Lars Stalfors (Salem, The Neighbourhood) mixed it. A press release described the album as being, “‘The Downward Spiral‘ for people with at least two monitors and a vitamin D deficiency.”
