Chicago-based industrial collective The Joy Thieves released their 13-track album ‘Apocalypse Pending’ on June 5, 2026 via Armalyte Industries. Fronted by vocalist Chris Connelly, the project operates as a rotating ensemble managed by Joy Thieves Productions (Dan Milligan and James Scott), drawing from over 80 contributing musicians to create finished compositions. The album blends alternative rock, industrial, punk, and hip-hop with anti-fascist themes. Lead single ‘The Wrong End of Your Rifle’ arrived in April 2026, followed by focus track ‘Ambush Vinez’ and the accompanying video for ‘No Anchor.’ Connelly, a Scottish-born artist previously associated with Fini Tribe, Ministry, and Pigface, provides lead vocals throughout. The release is available via Bandcamp as both digital download and CD.
