Volume 3 is coming soon in Modern Life Is War's Tribulation Worksongs series, set for release later this month on Dec. 17.

The two-song EP will release via Deathwish Inc. and the band has shared half of the record ahead of time via the below video for "Survival."

As the press release explains:

Tribulation Worksongs: Volume 3 was recorded by Luke Tweedy at Flat Black Studios and mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios. Aiming to be as hand built as possible, the lyrics/credits of each song were typed by Modern Life Is War vocalist/lyricist Jeff Eaton on his antique typewriter. These were later hand stamped on the front and back covers by artist Jacob Bannon, making each cover totally unique. The labels of the vinyl were also hand stamped before final assembly by the people at Deathwish.

Catch Modern Life Is War live this week: tonight in Iowa and next week in Wisconsin.

Modern Life Is War live dates:

December 3  Davenport, IA @ The Village Theatre

December 5  Cudahy, WI @ X-Ray Arcade

Tribulation Worksongs: Volume 3 track listing:

1.  Survival

2.  I Wanna Be Your Dog

But still we hear the same old … Read more

Let me say this right off the bat: this album is perfect. Modern Life is War has created a record that, at least to this reviewer, ranks right up there with Bane's Give Blood and American Nightmare's Background Music. The sound is actually remarkably similar to Background Music, however not in any way that My Love, My Way wasn't. I … Read more
