Phillip H. Anselmo and The Illegals has released a song called “The Ignorant Point”. This song is part of the upcoming album Choosing Mental Illness As A Virtue. This also follows the artist’s project of En Minor.
This album follows the 2013 release of Walk Through Exits Only. According to the press release, the songs in this upcoming album will be extreme, abrasive, aggressive, and anthemic. Anselmo adds “It’s more straightforward and cohesive to a degree, but it still goes off the rails here and there. We went through it song after song cut and fucking dry. I was in a specific mindset. I wanted to further my endeavors into a genre of music that I adore. As all ten songs blow by, I wanted an unforgiving feel. This is what was on my mind. It’s a recorded capsule of time.”
The song, “The Ignorant Point” talks about the idea of fake news as his vocals show aggression through out the lyrics. Anselmo talks about the tune stating “‘The Ignorant Point’ is a tip of the hat to today’s top-notch, morally sincere, trustworthy news agencies, web sites, bloggers etc. that have kept the public in such great spirits with their dedication to truth and honesty. Burp. Keep up the good work, bullshit artists. We’ve got our collective eyes on you.” The song dives right into its intense instrumental and vocals quickly following. The aggressive tone stays constant through out but becomes a little loose at the end as the song finishes out. The song can be listened to below.
