The Armed return with their new album The Future Is Here and Everything Needs to Be Destroyed, the follow up to 2023's critically acclaimed album Perfect Saviors. After completing a trilogy of albums laser-focused on dissecting artistic authenticity in the Information Age, The Armed began work on new material with no premeditated rules or concepts-favoring only raw expression and urgency to herald a new era for the project. What emerged is a furious and confrontational new album-The Future Is Here and Everything Needs to Be Destroyed. Still genre-defying, yet overtly pissed, it's an unfiltered expression of Weltschmerz, the German term describing the anguish of the world's reality versus our idealized visions of what it should be. ""This record rejects sanitized, G-rated rebellion curated for upper middle-class tastes,"" vocalist Tony Wolski explains. ""It's music for a statistically wealthy population that somehow can't afford food or medicine-endlessly scrolling past vacation photos, gym selfies, and images of child amputees in the same feed. It reflects the dissociation required just to exist in that reality.""
