HEALTH :: VIBE COP

Los Angeles-based noise/industrial band HEALTH has released a new track in October 2025.

It’s the lead single from their album CONFLICT DLC, scheduled for December, and it’s making waves for its heavy sound featuring Lamb of God guitarist Willie Adler.

The wavering industrial metal riffs and ethereal vocals create a striking contrast, resulting in an ambitious work that adds even more aggression to their signature electronic noise direction.

The band themselves note that this track places “more emphasis on guitars than usual,” pushing their cross-genre approach even further.

Its cyberpunk-tinged soundscape—where weight and airiness coexist—is perfect for listeners seeking a thrilling rock experience!
