Exclusive Track Premiere: “Whitemeat” by Ils

July 4, 2020 will see the release of Curse, the new album from Portland, OR “disaster chic” quartet Ils (pronounced “Ilz”)… and we can think of no music that could possibly be more appropriate for Independence Day. As demonstrated by the track “Whitemeat,” Ils make raw noise rock with hints of operatic stoner metal, toxic death metal, and dizzying mathcore to create something that is about as independent-sounding as independent-sounding gets. It’s metal for the 99%, a metal-gauntleted slap in the face to everything homogenized and condescending about macho mainstream acts like Five Finger Death Punch. This fact is only reinforced by the painfully-relevant lyrics, which include phrases like “You’re so damn rich, and you’re so damn white.” They say that every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings; well, every time you listen to “Whitemeat,” a CEO goes to Hell.

Destroy the 1% by listening to “Whitemeat” below. Then pre-order Curse here. It’s the most patriotic thing you can do!
