The Armed, known for their post-hardcore sound, have unfortunately had to cancel their upcoming fall tour. However, fans can look forward to the release of their new EP titled Everlasting Gaze, which will accompany their 2023 album Perfect Saviors. This EP features three fresh tracks, along with remixes of the collaboration “Sport Of Form” with artists like IDLES, Water From Your Eyes, and Model/Actriz. One new single has already been made available today.
True to the Armed’s style, the recent track “NEW! Christianity” showcases the band’s signature maximalist approach. It begins with an atmospheric electronic introduction before quickly transitioning into an energetic sound filled with vibrant pop harmonies and powerful, chaotic instrumentals. The track balances catchiness with an edgy intensity, making it a standout piece. Here’s how Dan Greene describes the song:
Originally intended as a single for Perfect Saviors, “NEW! Christianity” evolved into a defining conclusion for Side C of the album. It serves as a summary of the artistic journey from Only Love to Ultrapop to Perfect Saviors. The title reflects more on society’s search for meaningful symbols rather than focusing on any specific religion. It critiques the idea of a “Perfect Savior,” challenging conventional views rather than merely contemplating them.
The music video for “NEW! Christianity,” directed by Tony Wolski from the Armed, matches the intensity of the song. You can watch the video below and find the full tracklist for Everlasting Gaze.
