Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals - now featuring Anselmo with guitarists Stephen Taylor (Superjoint) and Mike DeLeon (Flesh Horder, Being Killed, ex-MOD et al), drummer Jose Manuel "Blue" Gonzalez (Superjoint, Warbeast), and newest recruit Derek Engemann (Scour, ex-Cattle Decapitation) - released the Choosing Mental Illness As A Virtue full-length last year via Anselmo's own Housecore Records.

And if you missed it, check out the official video for the track "Choosing Mental Illness" below. Directed by Katherine Richardson-Anselmo with director of photography Mike Holderbeast and starring Michael St. Michaels (The Greasy Strangler), the six-plus-minute clip pays tribute to Milos Forman's 1975 drama, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and finds Anselmo playing the character of R. P. McMurphy.
