With all the recent legal turmoil between Black Flag founder Greg Ginn and his former bandmates now performing in FLAG, we've almost forgotten that Ginn announced earlier this year that his iconic punk outfit are about to issue their first LP since the '80s. Now, the details have surfaced on the record, titled What The..., and it doesn't look pretty.
A listing for the LP has popped up on iTunes [via Brooklyn Vegan], and the album is apparently set to drop November 5 through Ginn's SST imprint.
As you'll see up above, the cover art is gasp-inducing, looking something like a South Park character giving us the devil horns after getting juiced off a bag of Fun Dip. Clearly they couldn't get Raymond Pettibon (a.k.a. Ginn's brother and OFF! art supplier) back on board to supply his familiarly twisted work.
The album itself weighs in with 22 songs, including previously released funk-punk tune "Down in the Dirt" and the more traditional rager "The Chase." Other song titles include "This is Hell," "Slow Your Ass Down" and the unfortunately prescient "You Gotta Be Joking."
It must be said that while the LP info exists on iTunes, Black Flag have yet to formally announce the LP on their end. They do have some tour dates coming up in Puerto Rico and Australia, though. You can find out the show details over here.
What The...:
1. My Heart's Pumping
