On 17th March, Seattle rock band Filth Is Eternal will release their third album, Impossible World, via MNRK Heavy.
Today the band share the latest taste of Impossible World via new single ‘Long Way’. Constructed from a single driving riff and featuring Lauren Lavin‘s supporting harmonies, the song showcases Filth Is Eternal venturing into new territory. It’s also the first track they recorded with the FILTH EQ+, a pedal they designed themselves that became integral to the album’s sonic palette. Speaking on its meaning frontperson Lis DiAngelo says, “We live in a time saturated by consumer culture; we are hyper-focused on acquisition and consumption as means to happiness. ‘Long Way’ is about finding ourselves at the center of that, then finding our way OUT.”

Following their acclaimed 2023 release Find Out, Impossible World emerged from a landscape of relentless gentrification, runaway technology, and creeping authoritarianism. Across the 12 tracks the band grapple with a present that already feels dystopian. But instead of surrendering to despair, they charge ahead with defiance, exploring urgent questions about survival, humanity, and resistance in a world being reshaped without consent.
Sonically Impossible World marks a turning point for FIE, rooted in punk’s immediacy while fusing hardcore intensity with sharpened melody that reaches into grunge and alternative rock. Lis pushes their vocal delivery into new territory, weaving melody and harmony through moments of raw force and clean restraint. Collaborations on Impossible World highlight FIE’s adventurous spirit as the LP boasts features from Fall Out Boy’s Joe Trohman, Baroness’s Gina Gleason, and Blood Brothers’ Johnny Whitney.
