HEALTH – “SLAVES OF FEAR” Video

Back in 2015, Los Angeles-based noise rockers HEALTH broke a long silence with Death Magic, the first proper album we’d heard from them in almost six years, only to retreat quickly back out of the spotlight. They resurfaced in 2017 with their third collection of remixes, DISCO3, a New Order cover for the Charlize Theron thriller Atomic Blonde, and the NOLIFE collaboration “Hard To Be A God.” But the trio seemed to officially return this September when they teamed up with Soccer Mommy for the stormy, Purity Ring-produced single “MASS GRAVE.” Since then, they’ve continued to build momentum with the Perturbator-featured “BODY/PRISON” and the experimental Youth Code collab “INNOCENCE.” Today, HEALTH is announcing their new record VOL. 4 :: SLAVES OF FEAR — out 2/8 via Loma Vista — and debuting its title track.

Produced by longtime collaborator Lars Stalfors, “SLAVES OF FEAR” is a heavy and exhilarating dance track, but its lyrics clash with a moody, existential vulnerability. “Slaves of fear/ From the moment we’re born/ We wanna be different/ But we don’t wanna try too hard,” sings Jake Duzsik. The accompanying Zev Deans-directed video is violent and twitchy, full of white light strobes and men with machine guns shooting their way through abandoned homes. It ends with a suffocating pulse. Watch and listen below and check out VOL. 4’s tracklist as well as HEALTH’s upcoming tour dates.
