Nearly six years after launching their ‘Tribulation Worksongs’ single/EP collection, a series that spanned three volumes released between 2018 and 2021, the acclaimed American hardcore-punk band Modern Life Is War has compiled all tracks into a single, definitive collection under the same title.
This compilation isn’t just a re-release; it’s a re-sequenced, album-like experience that brings together seven intense tracks. It includes a remix of « Feels Like End Times » and their impactful hardcore transformation of Marcia Griffiths’ 1975 reggae song « Survival »—a testament to the band’s ability to hit hard while still providing variety and memorable moments, much like their acclaimed albums Witness and Midnight in America.
Jeffrey Eaton’s signature jagged, in-your-face screams and intensely real lyrics continue to stand out, making every track a harsh yet memorable performance.
‘Tribulation Worksongs’ is a must-hear for those who missed these songs in their original form and offers a fresh listen for long-time followers. It’s now available on vinyl & digital via Deathwish Inc. (Converge, THE HOPE CONSPIRACY…). You can find physical and digital versions here and stream the entire collection below.
