Details: 2021 release. Every song is a nihilistic anthem, showcasing the different ways in which we have become a true plague to this planet - from a philosophical, religious but also ecological point of view. Mixed with the band's typical gothic vibes, sophisticated nods to literature, film and religion, and elaborate poetic lyrics, "Existence Is Futile" cements the band's undisputed status as one of the most influential extreme metal bands of our time - and you can even once again discover the voice of 'Pinhead' actor Doug Bradly on two tracks. So, if we're all going to perish in the fires of our own stupidity, we might as well have a suitably deranged and destructive soundtrack to do it by.
