UK grime-metal quintet Hacktivist has announced their eagerly anticipated new album, Hyperdialect, due for release on Friday, June 18, via UNFD. Today’s announcement comes alongside the release of a video for their brand new single ‘Planet Zero’. Check it out below.

Co-vocalist J. Hurley comments: “Look at the state of the planet at the moment, and people are still ignoring it. It doesn’t make sense. There are all these homeless people on the streets, but there are all this land and enough food to go around for everyone.”

Co-vocalist Jot Maxi adds: “There are so many things wrong with the way humanity is. We’re self-destructive, and everybody knows it. It’s in a lot of films, especially science fiction. But that dark future is no longer fiction, and it’s obvious that we’re on a downwards path. If I buy a bottle of something to drink, it will be sold in plastic, and I’m going to feel guilty about that. Take a look at any city around the world – there’s so much opulence and grandeur on show, but look closely enough, and you’ll find people living on the streets, homeless. Where is this going? There are islands of plastic bottles in the sea now, but we only have this one planet. It’s mad. It’s all tilting downwards and into the mouth’s of the rich.”

The news of Hyperdialect follows Hacktivist‘s exhilarating return in 2020 with their single ‘Armoured Core’, featuring rising artist Kid Bookie, which saw support from Radio 1’s Future Artists with Jack Saunders, the Radio 1 Rock Show, Kerrang! Radio, and more. Meanwhile, Hacktivist will bring Hyperdialect to life on stage later this year, having been confirmed to appear at UK festivals RADAR Festival in July, Bloodstock in August and Slam Dunk Festival in September; more dates to follow.
