The Future Is Here And Everything Needs To Be Destroyed/Gatefold/44 pages Book

Description

The Armed returns with a new album titled The Future Is Here and Everything Needs to Be Destroyed, the successor to the highly acclaimed Perfect Saviors released in 2023. After completing a trilogy of albums focused on the deconstruction of artistic authenticity in the information age, the band began writing new songs without rules or predefined concepts, favoring raw expression and visceral urgency to usher in a new era for the project. The result is a furious and confrontational album: The Future Is Here and Everything Needs to Be Destroyed. Always unclassifiable stylistically, it is a raw expression of Weltschmerz, the German term that describes the pain felt in the gap between the reality of the world and the ideals one has of it. "This album rejects sanitized rebellion, rated for all audiences, tailored to the tastes of the upper middle class," explains singer Tony Wolski. The album features 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.
