Iconic hardcore / punk band BAD BRAINS will release their new album, Into the Future, on November 20th via Megaforce. The new album features the classic lineup of H.R., Darryl Jenifer, Dr. Know and Earl Hudson.

In celebration of Into The Future, the band is releasing bootleg vinyl in multiple colors (red, yellow and green) at various independent record stores on November 13th. This vinyl comes prior to the album's street date and is limited to 500 numbered copies.

American artist Shepard Fairey, a lifelong fan of Bad Brains, has designed the packaging for Into The Future. Check it out below:

"Into The Future is the purest Bad Brains recordings since the ROIR cassette,” says bassist Darryl Jenifer, referring to the early-80s sound and energy that defined the band. “This self-produced record shines with a true sense of freedom and musical experimentation, with blends of soulful backgrounds meshed with blistering hardcore and metal riffs, with classic dub."

Bad Brains' new single, 'Into The Future', is streaming below:

While searching for something epic and different, the band decided to self-produce the album and capture that spirit only the band itself could find. Included on the album is a remix of 'Peace Be Unto Thee', a tribute to longtime fan, friend and producer Adam Yauch (BEASTIE BOYS), who marked the Bad Brains’ return to form by producing their previous album, Build A Nation.

Bad Brains helped define American punk and hardcore music. Considered to be the holy grail of punk rock, they are one of the definitive American punk groups who garner the same respect as SEX PISTOLS, BLACK FLAG, RAMONES and THE CLASH.
