Living Weapon are putting in a claim for metalcore album of the year with their newly announced effort.
It’s set to be titled ‘Death In The Family’ and will be released on August 14 via Closed Casket Activities. It serves as the band’s first music in five years, serving as a follow-up to their 2021 EP ‘Paradise’.
The artwork looks like this:
And the tracklisting is like this:
1. The First ElementÂ
2. Metastasis
3. Dead Like YouÂ
4. The Leaving Process
5. ParthenogenesisÂ
6. Interspecies Quality AssessmentÂ
7. Qui Transtulit Sustinet
8. In Loving MemoryÂ
9. When No Light ComparedÂ
And one of the reasons this may be an instant classic is out right now in the form of ‘The Leaving Process’, a caustic blend of math-rock intricacy, bludgeoning ferocity and forward-thinking intent that feels as fresh as it does frantic. Sounding like absolutely nobody else and clearly uninterested in convention or corner-cutting, it is the sound of tomorrow, today.
