VITAMIN X: Age Of Paranoia Now Streaming; Album Out Today Through Southern Lord

Age Of Paranoia, the new album by Dutch hardcore punk kingpins VITAMIN X, is out today via Southern Lord.

 
Recorded by Igor Wouters at ARC Studios in Amsterdam, and including special guest guitar solos by J. Mascis (Dinosaur Jr., Witch), and Bubba Dupree (Void, Soundgarden, Dave Grohl’s Probot, Brant Bjork). Age Of Paranoia offers sixteen volatile tracks, packed into a succinct, white-knuckled twenty-eight minutes. The album surges with rapid-fire punk angst, replete with ripping rock leads and raised-fist, group-chanting anthems. The cover artwork was created by Marald (Baroness, Kylesa, High On Fire).
