“Doomsday Brigade” is the product of 20 years of friendship, multiple bands and tours, a global lockdown and a love for hardcore punk. Ill Communication is a collective of friends who met in Tehachapi and Oxnard. The group is now spread through out the United States and Europe now but still find a way to contribute to the band. The writing process was a conscious effort to make make an album that we would love and that fans of every niche genre of hardcore could enjoy. While rooted in traditional hardcore punk it has plenty of melody, speed, grove and heaviness peppered in.

It's the all-new Dark Ages! Of archaic snake oils and occult alchemy, turning horse drugs into fool's gold, and otherwise worldly townsfolk into the village idiot. But all is not lost, dear vassal, dear patron, for who is that doth march o'er the crest of yon hill, battle-scarred armor reflecting back the sun of a brand new day? It's Frenzal Rhomb's new album, The Cup Of Pestilence! Drink long and deep of its zest. Its lifegiving succor. It's mad riffs. I'll probably stop with the weird medieval stuff now.
