Deluxe Edition

Canadian “progressive thrash” legends Propagandhi have released their sixth studio recording and their second with Dave “The Beaver” Guillas on guitar. Celebrating three decades of politically charged works, Failed States is one of the band’s most forward thinking and musically varied albums to date. Pushing the boundaries, the evocative listen ranges from the dynamic “Note to Self” to the thrashing “Hadron Collision.” Failed States is a pivotal release from the hard-rocking metal band.
Reviews
"Propagandhi lob bombs of radical-humanist invective the way most bands deploy riffs. Which isn’t to say that Hannah and his bandmates don’t prize riffs; indeed, tightly coiled shredfests like “Cognitive Suicide” and “Devil’s Creek” demonstrate how much they’ve grown up (without mellowing out) since their early-’90s skate-rat days." – Revolver

9/10 - "On their Epitaph debut Failed States, the Manitoba quartet are still as pissed off as ever, lobbing anti-authority grenades over some of the best thrash punk you'll hear this year. And with the 2012 election coming up soon, there isn't a better (or more important) time to spin the latest effort from Propagandhi." - Absolute Punk.
