Denver, Colorado-based thrash metal group Havok issued fourth full-length studio album Conformicide<\/em> on March 10th, 2017 through Century Media Records.<\/p>\n

Vocalist and rhythm guitarist David Sanchez commented: \u201cConformicide<\/em> 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 \u2018truth bombs\u2019 being dropped on this record and the music absolutely rips! Conformicide<\/em> is faster and way angrier than Unnatural Selection<\/em>. On this album, the music is very layered and dynamic and the lyrics say a lot about the current state of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lead guitarist Reece Scruggs shared the following words, meanwhile: \u201cThis album swings for the fences in every way. Sonically stunning, technically proficient and lyrically pissed, we\u2019ve never been represented at our best until this moment in time. We cannot wait for the world to react to Conformicide<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conformicide<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n

The track listing is as follows:<\/p>\n
