A pounding beat immediately sets the track in motion before waves of distortion and abrasive industrial textures crash in. Then comes Story Beeson’s astonishing vocal performance, a primal, metal-infused roar that transforms ‘ANIMAL’ into something altogether more ferocious. Fans of White Zombie will find plenty to love here, with the band’s uncompromising energy and industrial edge echoing the same thrilling intensity while carving out an identity that’s unmistakably their own.

The accompanying video perfectly amplifies the song’s relentless atmosphere. Performing inside a cage, the band are surrounded by grainy, surveillance-inspired visuals that reinforce the themes of control and resistance while matching the track’s raw, visceral energy. It’s a full-scale industrial rave that bombards the senses from every angle—and it’s impossible not to get swept up in the chaos.

They’ve just announced their debut S/T EP and share first single ‘Broke’ – a dystopian, anthemic tornado of metal machine energy, a titanic neo-industrial achievement that captures the modern frustration of an increasingly isolated society that demands both punishing adherence to capitalism and the deconstruction of community to make space for technological advancement.

“It’s about the fear of artificial intelligence and the possibilities it could hold for further separating us from ourselves and from each other in society,” Beeson explains. “I’ve been afraid of AI for years. There’s a dystopian idea that your authentic self could be replaced by something artificial. Technology could take us away from our true selves. That’s the root of industrial music to me.”

The video, shot in a basement in the San Gabriel Valley by Kristopher Kirk and Jeremy Stith with a VX1000, is influenced by iconic, provocative post-punk videos from artists like Depeche Mode and NIN, but feels distinctly rooted in the mood of 2024 with its cyberpunk undertones.

The announcement arrives with the album’s title track, which features lyrics and vocals from No Wave icon Lydia Lunch and a striking Jasmine Hirst-directed music video that juxtaposes the two artists against their own visual artworks and surrealist photomontages.

Expanding on the collaboration, Zohra shared the following statement: “When I asked Lydia if she would lend her talent to the track – it was without any expectation, and I really had no idea if it would work. She subliminally caught on to the current running through the piece and went with condemning acts of violence in the name of God, and unbeknownst to her, I was painting a sonic world of the Abrahamic religion-super believing zealot / enthusiast. So ‘Murder In The Temple’ is Lydia Lunch reminding the peons and the plebs to get their shit together.”
