Human Impact – share video for new single “Corrupted”

Human Impact, the New York-based outfit founded by Chris Spencer (Unsane) and Jim Coleman (Cop Shoot Cop), who recently announced their sophomore album, Gone Dark (Oct. 4, Ipecac Recordings), have released the final preview of the album in the form of “Corrupted”.

The track is a jeering stab at the power hungry corporations who leave destruction in their wake in pursuit of something material and useless, featuring see-sawing guitars and a call to action in the form of Spencer’s instructions to “Follow the sound … the future is now”. About the track, the bands says;

“Corrupted: The insatiable greed of big pharma which has forced a large segment of the population into addiction, homelessness, mental illness, and desperation.

While the track was written looking at this endless dehumanising vampirism on a more widespread level, the video for Corrupted specifically looks at the opioid epidemic, and its evolution into the prevalence of Fentanyl and Meth. This crisis was created by corporate design, aggressively sold to medical professionals, health insurers and patients, and has permanently altered our society, culture and families. Additionally, our history of criminally prosecuting addicts rather than providing treatment provides cheap labor for a privatised prison system – yet another inhuman method of generating  more profits.”

This is in addition to the videos for “Hold On” and “Destroy to Rebuild” which both continue a visual aesthetic that the band have used since their inception – an apocalyptic landscape with oversaturated colours and a not-so-subtle commentary on the current state of the world.
