Sect have announced their brand-new album Plagues Upon Plagues, which will be released by Southern Lord Records on June 7. The new album is the follow-up to 2019’s critically acclaimed album Blood of the Beasts. The band have also unleashed a new single off of the album, titled “New Low.”
Listen to “New Low” on YouTube:
Vocalist Chris Colohan describes the upcoming album as:
“A funeral rather than a trial. Our scene has already been screaming about the threat of an ecological breaking point and the looming threat of recurrent fascism throughout our whole lives. When both come to pass at the same time, and you get the exact world you fought never to see, there are no more alarm bells to ring. You’re just burying your dead. It’s mournful.”
The new album is about the fragility of the world which the listener has to come face to face with. The statements that are made in the ear-blistering record are about how harsh realities of the existence can be. These issues are openly described, and we are reminded that they cannot be ignored anymore.
