Unleashing the latest slab of their patented “bastardized” grindcore with their new album "Pleine Noirceur" this past November, Fuck The Facts have a new music video for the track "Dropping Like Flies". The song is a face-punching, fist-pumping smorgasbord of 90’s death metal, crust punk, and weirdness. Lyrically, the track was written by vocalist Mel Mongeon to tackle the reality of drug addiction and the opioid epidemic in certain parts of Canada pre-covid times.

"The infection is spreading

Like a field infested with insects, with pests that multiply

Unable to treat the infection, it’s becoming larger...

...We hear you say you’re concerned, that you understand

But nothing is done

State of emergency; where are the resources?

It’s all talk

Help isn’t on the way

Communities will remain under strain 

Pushed to the breaking point

Everyone is scrambling to save lives

As long as you feel their lives do not matter, they will keep dying"

Fuck The Facts has once again teamed up with director David Hall, who has been making videos for each of their albums since the release of "Stigmata High-Five" back in 2006.

"His unique approach to making videos has always been inspiring to us and we've always given him carte blanche (just watch our video for "Everywhere Yet Nowhere''). For the "Dropping Like Flies" video Dave manages to give the viewer an uncomfortable and satirical look at the devastating opioid epidemic. Highlighting just how much this issue is not taken seriously enough." says FTF's Topon Das.

Director David Hall adds:

"The main inspiration for the video for “Dropping Like Flies” came directly from Mel’s lyrics. She eloquently sings about addiction as an epidemic and society’s response: “help isn’t on the way.” I wanted to present a vision of hopelessness, the brutal ravaging of addiction, the pervasiveness of prescription meds, the economic forces that conspire, and show some faces not commonly presented as addicts: white people, senior citizens, the middle and upper class. Addiction transcends all demographics. God sends flies to wounds he should heal. Pills rain down from heaven."

"Pleine Noirceur" is the upcoming album from Canadian grindcore champions Fuck The Facts. Set for release on November 20th via their very own label Noise Salvation, the full length follows their 2015 Juno nominated "Desire Will Rot". "Pleine Noirceur" continues right where the band left off, offering up another slab of their patented “bastardized” grindcore full of all the twists and turns that fans have come to expect.

Leading up to the record's deliverance, the trio has previewed songs "Ailleurs", "Dropping Like Flies", "Everything I Love Is Ending" and the album's title track. Today, just days away from "Pleine Noirceur" discharging to headphones and speakers around the globe, the band is sharing their latest single "An Ending", the second last closer on the album.

Guitarist Topon Das adds: "This song deviates from the more grindcore and head-bashing tunes on the record to show more of our melodic side. Not referenced as often, but the early days of bands like Paradise Lost, Katatonia, Enchantment & Cemetary definitely had a strong influence on my writing as well. There's a dark and depressing feel to the song that really embodies the theme of the whole album."

The brand new video from Ottawa-based grindcore technicians FUCK THE FACTS has been released today. Constructed for the song "Drift" -- the scathing opening track from FTF's late 2011-released eighth LP, Die Miserable -- the imaginative, creepy video was created by David Hall of Handshake Inc., known for previous videos he's directed for Today is the Day, Brutal Truth, Hail of Bullets, Jucifer, Bastard Noise, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Sigh, Rwake and tons more, in addition to previous work with FUCK THE FACTS.

Quebec's bastardized grinders FUCK THE FACTS have recently posted the track “A Coward’s Existence” from the band's upcoming album, Die Miserable.

Stated FTF guitarist Topon Das about the theme behind the song and the album as a whole: "Musically, this is the song I feel embodies almost all the elements of the album. Some of the other songs on the album seem to lean more towards the fast and crazy elements and some more towards the melodic, but on 'A Coward's Existence,' I feel like we really were able to make it all work together. The song is from the point of view of someone who doesn't take any chances in life, because of fear of failure, ridicule... someone that just waits and hopes for fate to make things happen for them, and before they know it, their time is up and they never got to do all things they wish they had. This is pretty much the basis of the album title Die Miserable. If we spend all our time worrying about money, what other people will do or think, if we're good enough to accomplish the things we want to do, that eventually it ends with regret and a void that was never filled because we were to afraid to live the life was always wanted to."

Check out the scorching “A Coward’s Existence” at FUCK THE FACTS' Bandcamp page HERE.

A live version of the song filmed at The Cake Shop in NYC as part of FUCK THE FACTS' 10-year anniversary can be viewed HERE, and the band have also posted an in-studio video of the track that can be viewed HERE.

Set for release in North America via Relapse Records on October 11th, Die Miserable was recorded between tours at their own home studio. Featuring over 35 minutes of FUCK THE FACTS' scorching blend of socio-politically-charged grind, hardcore and metal fans worldwide have embraced for the past decade, the album showcases some of the finest work the band has embodied to date.
