New Ruin [LP]

New Ruin is a shot of adrenaline from a band striking out at outdated institutions and ideologies via pointed lyrics and their heaviest songs to date, attacking each with a ferocity that will surprise even longtime fans. From the monstrously discordant hits that open the album through the de facto thesis statement of "Heirloom," it's clear that The Flatliners are angry in a way we've never heard before.
