Los Angeles trio Primitive Ring have announced their self-titled LP, due out May 15th, 2026 via In The Red Records. The band has also shared lead single “Heads Will Roll,” which is accompanied by a Jenny Baumert-directed video.

The band explains:

This was the last song to come together for the record. The ‘missing piece’ to tie everything together. Both gentle and bellicose. Primal scream for a dying dream. What is there left to do in the wasteland but ride?

Primitive Ring was recorded by Mark Rains in December of 2025 at The Station House in Echo Park. The album is “the genesis story of a lightning bolt flashing in the eternal drama of creation and destruction.” The album showcases the distinct writing styles of each member but comes together as a unitary whole. The band feel that “we must remind one another how electric humanity can be.”
