Preoccupations’ (formerly known as Viet Cong) upcoming self-titled album is scheduled for release September 16th, but we’ve had the pleasure of hearing some of the magic they’ve been working on these past couple months. Their latest release “Degraded” has everything fans want and more. The dope riff, creepy vocals you’re dying to sing along to, and the badass drumming are all elements that’ll make this song a hit.

If you can’t get enough of them, they’ll be going on tour at the end of August, which includes a US leg with Explosions in The Sky.
