Pixel Grip has announced their third album, Percepticide: the Death of Reality, set to release on June 12. Following the acclaimed ARENA, the new album reflects a period of turmoil for the band, with vocalist Rita Lukea confronting isolation and drummer Tyler Ommen undergoing recovery, while keyboardist Jonathon Freund dove into the Chicago underground scene. The album explores themes of trauma, rage, and rebirth, aiming to empower listeners. With four singles already released and a North American tour planned from September 23 to November 14, the band is set for an exciting comeback.
Given the personal struggles and creative resurgence reflected in Percepticide, how might music serve as a form of therapy not only for artists but also for their audience during challenging times?
