FILTH IS ETERNAL - neue Single “LONG WAY”; Album im März
On March 17 Seattle rock band Filth Is Eternal will release their 3rd album, Impossible World, via MNRK Heavy.
Following their acclaimed 2023 release Find Out, the LP emerged from a landscape of relentless gentrification, runaway technology, and creeping authoritarianism. Across the 12 tracks the band grapple with a present that already feels dystopian. But instead of surrendering to despair, they charge ahead with defiance, exploring urgent questions about survival, humanity, and resistance in a world being reshaped without consent. Sonically Impossible World marks a turning point for FIE, rooted in punk’s immediacy while fusing hardcore intensity with sharpened melody that reaches into grunge and alternative rock. Lis pushes their vocal delivery into new territory, weaving melody and harmony through moments of raw force and clean restraint. Collaborations on Impossible World highlight FIE’s adventurous spirit as the LP boasts features from Fall Out Boy’s Joe Trohman, Baroness’s Gina Gleason, and Blood Brothers’ Johnny Whitney.
Today the band share the latest taste of Impossible World via new single “Long Way.” Constructed from a single driving riff and featuring Lauren Lavin's supporting harmonies, the song showcases Filth Is Eternal venturing into new territory. It's also the first track they recorded with the FILTH EQ+, a pedal they designed themselves that became integral to the album's sonic palette. Speaking on its meaning front person Lis DiAngelo says, “We live in a time saturated by consumer culture; we are hyper-focused on acquisition and consumption as means to happiness. ‘Long Way’ is about finding ourselves at the center of that, then finding our way OUT."

Filth Is Eternal previously shared “Stay Melted,” which drew attention from Stereogum, Alternative Press, Brooklyn Vegan, Revolver, and others.
Reborn in 2020, Filth is Eternal was inspired by the raw, impulsive ethos of punk. The band built a reputation for their frenetic live shows played in DIY venues across the country. FIE has always been about staying energized. When everything looks stacked against us, that’s when we lean in, get louder, and find a way through,” vocalist Lis Di Angelo says. Joined by guitarist Brian McClelland, bassist Logan Miller and drummer Josh Pehrson, FIE has opened for Finch, Blood Brothers, Baroness, and Botch, among others, all the while staying true to their steadfast commitment to staying a DIY project. “Community means everything to us. We love working with independent venues and supporting local bands. That's the beautiful thing about punk, everyone jumps in to help each other out, and no matter where you are in the world you can find your friends.”
Impossible World ignites with lead single “Stay Melted,” a front-to-back banger capturing the urgency of our moment. Partly inspired by Dylan Thomas’s Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, the track is a manifesto for refusing despair amid global crises - from ICE and Palestine to a world spinning under failed leadership. Lis belts out a rallying cry: “Die lit, stay melted,” a call to rage, resist, and stay fully alive even as the world feels like it’s collapsing. It’s some of Lis’ most incisive songwriting to date, pairing fiery lyrics with relentless, driving instrumentation. In this respect, Impossible World feels like a record that could only emerge from our current moment. Reflecting on the rise of new technologies, Brian observes that “the future is here now, but it’s not evenly distributed.”
In hard times, the future can feel finite or unreal, but Impossible World proves that art has the radical power to energize us, sharpen our resolve, and push us forward through the darkest hours.
