HAVOK Release Fourth Studio Album ‘Conformicide’
March 10th, 2017

Denver, Colorado-based thrash metal group Havok issued fourth full-length studio album Conformicide on March 10th, 2017 through Century Media Records.

Vocalist and rhythm guitarist David Sanchez commented: “Conformicide is our most dynamic, heavy, thoughtful, musical, and sonically-crushing album so far. All four members feel that this is the best Havok album to date. There are a lot of ‘truth bombs’ being dropped on this record and the music absolutely rips! Conformicide is faster and way angrier than Unnatural Selection. On this album, the music is very layered and dynamic and the lyrics say a lot about the current state of the world.”

Lead guitarist Reece Scruggs shared the following words, meanwhile: “This album swings for the fences in every way. Sonically stunning, technically proficient and lyrically pissed, we’ve never been represented at our best until this moment in time. We cannot wait for the world to react to Conformicide.”

Conformicide was produced, engineered, and mixed by Steve Evetts at The Omen Room Studios in Garden Grove, California. Mastering duties fell to Alan Douches at West West Side Music, New Windsor, New York.

The track listing is as follows:

01. ‘F.P.C.’

04. ‘Intention To Deceive’
05. ‘Ingsoc’

10. ‘Circling The Drain’
11. ‘String Break’
12. ‘Slaughtered’ (Pantera cover)
