Bad Brains legend H.R. has teamed with Canadian experimental collective New Age Doom for the collaborative album Angels Against Angels, out March 6th.
The closing track “Amaseganalo, Pt. 2” can be heard now and showcases the album’s genre-bending sound: a combination of cacophonous post-rock with elements of dub, punk, and metal. Providing the vocals and lyrics, H.R. “rejects racism, war, and injustice, calling for equality and dignity,” according to the album press release.
“The vision was to bring H.R. into a space he hasn’t visited in a long time, a sphere he helped create and pioneer,” said Eric J Breitenbach, New Age Doom drummer and co-producer, in the press release. “The album thrives at the intersection of chaotic hardcore and spacious dub. Though it was never planned as a dub record, that sound’s gravitational pull affected the music, shaping it naturally.”

He continued, “We didn’t just want to revisit history, but to make a sound that doesn’t exist anywhere else. H.R.’s voice evokes survival, chaos, and hope all at once. This album is heavier, stranger, and more alive than anything we’ve done. We’re inspired and can’t wait for people to hear it.”
The ever-expanding New Age Doom collective now includes Andy Morin of Death Grips, Bowie BLACKSTAR keyboardist Jason Lindner, Quicksand drummer Alan Cage, and Pussy Riot (Riot Days) member Alina Petrova on electric violin. Returning musicians include Breitenbach, multi-instrumentalist Greg Valou, bassist Tim Lefebvre, now also on electric guitar, along with trumpeter Dan Rosenboom, Gavin Templeton on saxophones, drummer Benedicte Pierleoni, DJ CrookOne and Cola Wars on keyboards.
“I think we’ve struck a good balance between riffs, ambience, and melodic moments that our listeners are hungry for,” said Valou, who also co-produced.
