Various artists, Passages: Artists in Solidarity with Immigrants, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers

HEALTH, Conflict DLC
The noise-rockers’ sixth LP is a full-on rush of nihilistic energy, a shattered disco ball serving as the perfect encapsulation of a world decimated by capitalistic greed at the expense of humanity.
