The alt-metal band's first full length release in six years was produced by Hamilton and mixed by Jay Baumgardner and will be released as 1CD digipak, transparent vinyl and digitally.
Helmet will be heading out on a 36-city tour of the U.S. this fall in support of the new album. The band will be joined by special guest Local H. The tour kicks off on Nov. 3 with further dates for a European tour to be announced soon.
Page Hamilton offered these thoughts:
"Catch phrases, punchlines, guns, bluster, ammo, incivility, impatience, murder. You, me, us, them, life, liberty and the pursuit of property.
"We disagree, we disrespect, discourse disappears in the age of access. When in doubt GET LOUD! It's my way or the highway, thank you Lawrence Tierney!
"Religious tchotchkes nailed to the walls of homes above razor-scarred mirrors. Do you meditate, levitate, pray? Live in LA! I'm a huge fan, got a perfume line, smell nice, plan my next move. Threats loom, the bad news network blooms, fear sells. Just get em out, the spying neighbors, suspects, terrorists our forefathers intent. 'If you don't like it, leave' and call it democracy." — Page Hamilton, September 2016
