The album emerges “ringing with the band’s own sonic quirks… redolent of punk rock jam‑room intimacy and mired in deathly HM‑2 crunch tones, but with a bitter tang that’s entirely LIFESICK.” Lyrically, the record is grounded in the timeless themes of survival, confrontation, and resilience; being shaped by the harsh realities of life and coming out harder to break.
As is customary, LIFESICK welcomes an array of featured artists from bands they respect and enjoy, each collaborator invigorating the material with new energies. “No Bark, All Bite” features Copenhagen hardcore luminaries and friends of the band Jonathan Albrechtsen (Rot Away) and Victor Kaas (Eyes), “Damaged Goods” showcases Nitisart “Mike” Chaiburi (Whispers), Hallgeir Skretting Enoksen (Purified In Blood) enhances “Scum,” while “Assassination Culture” includes Christoffer Bach Kofoed (Neckbreakker).
In advance of the record‘s release, today the band presents “All Eyes On Me,” with an accompanying video. The band comments, “’All Eyes On Me‘ is built for the pit. It moves from groovy riffs into heavy beatdown sections and ends in a crushing breakdown made to clear the floor. Lyrically, it‘s about being impossible to ignore – growing in someone‘s head, refusing to disappear and making sure your name sticks.”
