HEALTH have announced RAT WARS, their fifth album, which will be out December 7 via Loma Vista. The album was produced by Stint (Oliver Tree, Demi Lovato) and mixed by Lars Stalfors (SALEM, The Neighbourhood). We have an exclusive variant on coke bottle clear vinyl that’s limited to 500 copies. They come housed in a hand-numbered O-card with embedded NFC chip that give you the ability to unlock future content from the band. Grab yours HERE while they last, and see a mockup and the tracklist below.
The band have shared two songs from the album: “CHILDREN OF SORROW,” which features Lamb of God’s Willie Adler on guitar, and “SICKO,” which samples Godflesh’s “Like Rats.” You can watch videos for both below.
HEALTH have also announced a 2024 tour with Pixel Grip and King Yosef as support that hits NYC on March 15 at Brooklyn Steel. Tickets for all dates go on sale Friday, October 6 at 10 AM local time.
