Bands like Sunn O))), Xibalba, Misery Signals, and Modern Life is War have all teamed up for the Shut it Down: Benefit for the Movement for Black Lives compilation. The compilation features exclusive songs from Thou, Primitive Man, Racetraitor, Amygdala, and the first new music from Relapse Record’s Rwake in nine years.
"Like so many others I felt a rage at seeing the video of George Floyd’s death but when Minneapolis rose up, I knew we entered one of those historical movements that require all of us to do whatever we could to fight racist policing and defend black lives," said vocalist Mani Mostofi of Racetraitor and organizer of Shut it Down. "This compilation is just one small contribution to that struggle."
"Nearly everyone my friends that I contacted wanted to participate in the comp, so we ended up with so many more amazing bands taking part than we anticipated. We also had engineers donating mixing and master, illustrators donating artwork, and publicists donating PR. It was a community effort all around."
