The Armed return with new single “Kingbreaker.” The track is accompanied by a video directed by Aaron Jones and Tony Wolski, and captures the kinetic chaos the Detroit experimental hardcore collective is known for delivering live. The Armed will be touring behind the album, dates include Boston, New York City, DC, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Detroit

“Kingbreaker” follows the release of “Well Made Play”, both tracks are off their forthcoming LP The Future Is Here And Needs To Be Destroyed available August 1st, via Sargent House.

After completing a trilogy of albums laser-focused on dissecting artistic authenticity in the Information Age, The Armed began work on new material with no premeditated rules or concepts—favoring only raw expression and urgency to herald a new era for the project. Still genre-defying, yet overtly pissed, it’s an unfiltered expression of Weltschmerz, the German term describing the anguish of the world’s reality versus our idealized visions of what it should be. “It’s music for a statistically wealthy population that somehow can’t afford food or medicine—endlessly scrolling past vacation photos, gym selfies, and images of child amputees in the same feed. It reflects the dissociation required just to exist in that reality,” Wolski explains.

The album includes performances by Ken Szymanski, Patrick Shiroishi, Urian Hackney, Kurt Ballou, Troy Van Leeuwen, Meghan O’Neil, Cara Drolshagen, Tony Wolski, Brian Wolski, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Ben Chisholm, Prostitute, Zach Weeks, Mark Guiliana, Kayleigh Goldsworthy, and Derek Coburn.
