“We’re really happy to release our new record through Relapse, a label we have great respect for. It feels like the perfect partnership for us, especially with this new record, which we feel is our most expansive yet in terms of sound and concept. We’re very much looking forward to releasing this latest chapter in the band’s history”.

Recorded by producer Karl Daniel Lidén (Bloodbath, Katatonia, Craft and more), ‘The Horse and Sparrow Theory’ clocks in at 28 minutes of relentless insurrection. Victims‘ uncompromising take on d-beat and hardcore is a definitive statement of intent, as the band is set to deconstruct the current socio-political climate, bleak outlook of mass class division, industrialization, and the self-absorbed pursuit of greed and corruption.

Additionally, Victims have announced Fall European headlining tour dates beginning October 25 and ending on November 2. The band will also celebrate the release of ‘The Horse and Sparrow Theory’ with a record release weekend June 28-30 in Poland and Germany. All confirmed tour dates are available below.
