Not only have The Armed announced that their album is named ULTRAPOP, but they have also just dropped brand-new single “ALL FUTURES”. Featuring contributions from Mark Lanegan and Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen; ULTRAPOP is expected to be a radical reshaping of their sound to defy expectations and map out their own unique sonic territory.
"The concept of 'subgenre' becomes almost the antithesis of vitality in art—itself a fetishization of expectation. ULTRAPOP seeks, in earnest, to create a truly new listener experience. It is an open rebellion against the culture of expectation in 'heavy' music. It is a joyous, genderless, post-nihilist, anti-punk, razor-focused take on creating the most intense listener experience possible. It's the harshest, most beautiful, most hideous thing we could make." – Dan Greene
