Penny Rimbaud (Crass) and Youth (Killing Joke) recently released a collaborative record, Corpus Mei, this past Friday the 19th (One Little Independent Records). It released digitally on Nov. 19, and will be available on limited vinyl beginning in January.

As described:

In a series of epic, cinematic soundscapes, Penny spits tales of the grotesque and absurd. Gargantuan sermons delivered in counter to swelling, emotive orchestration where he and former bandmate Eve Libertine deliver a slew of anti-capitalist weaponised poetry. With their carefully constructed verse they arm the listener against corrupt institutional powers as well as the abstract. High concept and highly descriptive, these vivid and dramatic pictures are painted with artful, honest passion against a monstrous, post-apocalyptic backdrop.

The collection was first recorded and mixed in 2011, then remixed in 2019 and features nine tracks in total and finally making it to the public now.

Track listing:

Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Mammon's Minions
We The Mountain We The Sea
And If I Lust
I Too
Incantations Of Intimacy
You Stare
You Brave Old Land
Shadows
Bread & Wine
