Background information über 'Choosing Mental Illness As A Virtue'

Philip H. Anselmo continues his relentless exploration of heavy music's darkest corners with this crushing sophomore effort from The Illegals. The former Pantera frontman delivers ten tracks of uncompromising brutality that showcase his evolution as both a vocalist and songwriter beyond his legendary past. From the opening assault of "Little Fucking Heroes" to the closing chaos of "Mixed Lunatic Results", this album demonstrates Anselmo's commitment to pushing boundaries while maintaining the raw intensity that made him a metal icon.

The production captures every nuance of The Illegals' aggressive sound, with Anselmo's vocals ranging from guttural growls to piercing screams over a foundation of crushing riffs and thunderous rhythms. Tracks like "Choosing Mental Illness" and "Individual" highlight the band's ability to blend technical proficiency with pure sonic violence, while maintaining the groove elements that have always been central to Anselmo's approach. This isn't just another side project - it's a statement of artistic intent from one of metal's most uncompromising voices.

For fans of: Pantera, Down, Eyehategod, Crowbar, and Superjoint Ritual
