The Armed - THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED (2025)
THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED is a dense, confrontational record built around excess and compression. The Armed push their sound toward saturation, stacking distortion, abrupt shifts, and overlapping vocals into a constant state of urgency. The album favors impact over clarity, operating at near-maximum intensity for most of its runtime.
The production amplifies this sense of overload, often blurring individual elements into a single mass. Tracks erupt quickly and collapse just as fast, creating a feeling of relentless motion without much space to settle or develop. While the chaos feels deliberate, it rarely translates into sustained tension or progression.
The album’s strength lies in its commitment, but that same commitment limits its reach. THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED delivers immediacy and force, yet it struggles to turn that aggression into something that grows or lingers beyond the moment.
