“Corrupted“, the third single from Human Impact's sophomore album, Gone Dark. Pre-order the Oct 4th release at Human Impact, the laser-precision noise-rock alliance of Unsane frontman Chris Spencer and Cop Shoot Cop squall-maker Jim Coleman, announce Gone Dark, the band's second full-length album, arriving on October 4th. Gone Dark is a fiercer, tighter upgrade of their taut grooves, brittle guitar shards, impassioned shouts and clouds of dystopian noise. Not a cry from the darkness but a shout through the darkness, a robust proclamation of resilience and opposition in the face of impending apocalypse. It follows their self-titled debut that was released on the eve that the world stood still, and was followed by a slew of singles which culminated in the the release of EP01 in 2021 and touring in 2022. They graced the cover of New Noise Magazine France and featured in a New York Times article amongst other recognition. “Corrupted“ is a jeering stab at the power hungry corporations who leave destruction in their wake in pursuit of something material and useless, featuring see-sawing guitars and a call to action in the form of Spencer's instructions to “Follow the sound ... the future is now“. About the track, the bands says; “Corrupted: The insatiable greed of big pharma which has forced a large segment of the population into addiction, homelessness, mental illness, and desperation. While the track was written looking at this endless dehumanizing vampirism on a more widespread level, the video for Corrupted specifically looks at the opioid epidemic, and its evolution into the prevalence of Fentynal and Meth. This crisis was created by corporate design, aggressively sold to medical professionals, health insurers and patients, and has permanently altered our society, culture and families. Additionally, our history of criminally prosecuting addicts rather than providing treatment provides cheap labor for a privatized prison system - yet another inhuman method of generating more profits.“ The Human Impact arsenal is more formidable than ever thanks to the addition of two more noise-rock veterans: bassist Eric Cooper (Made Out of Babies, Bad Powers) and drummer Jon Syverson (Daughters). Spencer had spent the 2020 COVID lockdown working on a cabin in the East Texas woods and would travel into Austin for informal jam sessions with the pair in the Cooper’s garage. Friendly blasts through vintage Unsane songs ultimately resulted in the rhythm section being fully absorbed into Human Impact. “Jon and Coop bring incredible musicianship,“ Spencer adds. “I feel incredibly lucky to be in a band with Jon. We've really clicked from the minute we started playing together. Cooper is awesome, and one of my best friends forever. We have a communication that I won't have with just anybody. I can't wait to fucking play this live.“ GONE DARK TRACK LISTING: 1 - COLLAPSE 2 - HOLD ON 3 - DESTROY TO REBUILD 4 - REFORM 5 - IMPERATIVE 6 - DISCONNECT 7 - CORRUPTED 8 - REPEAT 9 - LOST ALL TRUST
