Bad Brains

You read that correctly.

Iconic hardcore punk band Bad Brains will release Into the Future on November 20 through Megaforce.

Their new album will features the band’s classic lineup of H.R., Darryl Jenifer, Dr. Know and Earl Hudson.

“Into The Future is the purest Bad Brains recordings since the ROIR cassette,” says bassist Darryl Jenifer, referring to the early ’80s sound and energy that defined the band.

“This self-produced record shines with a true sense of freedom and musical experimentation, with blends of soulful backgrounds meshed with blistering hardcore and metal riffs, with classic dub,” he adds.

While searching for something epic and different, the band decided to self-produce the album and capture that spirit only the band itself could find, says a press release.

Included on the album is a remix of “Peace Be Unto Thee,” a tribute to longtime fan, friend and producer Adam Yauch, who marked the Bad Brains’ return to form by producing their previous album Build a Nation.
