HEALTH announce new album, VOL. 4 :: SLAVES OF FEAR, share title track: Stream

[News]

HEALTH have today announced their latest album, VOL. 4 :: SLAVES OF FEAR. The follow-up to 2015’s DEATH MAGIC is due out February 8th, 2019 via Loma Vista Recordings.

Described as the band’s “heaviest, most genre-obliterating album,” VOL. 4 :: SLAVES OF FEAR was produced by frequent collaborator Lars Stalfors (St. Vincent, Lil Peep). The record promises a range of sounds from thrashing metal to funk to “Arabic bass music dragged through hell.” There’s even a guitar ballad called “DECIMATION” capping it all off.

As a first listen, HEALTH have shared the video for the title song, “SLAVES OF FEAR”. Directed by Zev Deans, the clip flashes the titles of the album’s tracks over choppy, shaky images of S.W.A.T.-armored figures apparently attacking people. The images highlight the furious anxiety of the song itself, and you can take a look below.

Pre-orders for the new LP are now live. The album art and tracklist can be seen ahead.
