Harm's Way have detailed a new album. Common Suffering arrives September 29 via Metal Blade.
The Chicago crew's first LP in five years, Common Suffering is said to find Harm's Way exploring personal struggles with mental health, relationships, political upheaval, corruption and power through both their expected unrelenting brutality and quieter, reflective moments.
The album was recorded with in-demand producer Will Yip, and features guest vocals from King Woman's Kristina Esfandiari on "Undertow."
Common Suffering is previewed today by opening track "Silent Wolf," arriving alongside a video directed and edited by Finn O'Connell.
In a statement, vocalist James Pligge shares that "Silent Wolf" was "birthed out of observing a sense of persistent distrust in governing bodies and systems of power in our current cultural climate," explaining, "It speaks on the faith, or lack of faith, many have in these systems and an overall feeling of inertia and paranoia with status quo operations... leading many to the question: 'what is really informing our reality?"
Common Suffering follows Posthuman, which Exclaim! named among the Best Metal and Hardcore Albums of 2018.
