Fall 2019
Drugs of Faith is a grind ‘n’ roll band from Northern Virginia, where it was formed in 2002. A few releases later, Drugs of Faith signed with Selfmadegod Records and issued the self-titled album in 2005. The band went on the “No Speed Limit” European tour with Blood I Bleed in 2007.
In 2011 the band released the full-length album Corroded, which earned them slots on best-of-2011 lists from Decibel Magazine, Invisible Oranges, Pitchfork, and MetalSucks. Corroded was listed in the essential discography for 2011 in the book Choosing Death, written by Decibel editor-in-chief Albert Mudrian.
They shot a video for the first track on the album, “Greyed Out,” with Handshake, Inc.
Drugs of Faith’s Architectural Failures EP made it onto best-of-2013 lists including Washington CityPaper’s best music of D.C., Hellbound.ca’s writers’ lists, and American Aftermath. The band shot another music video, “Insanity,” for the EP.
In 2014, the band landed a slot on Decibel Magazine’s flexi series with a cover of Sacrifice’s classic “Re-Animation.”
Drugs of Faith completed the “Blast the East Coast” tour with label mates Antigama in 2015.
The latest release is the 7″ Decay. The band shot a video for “Collective Punishment” from the EP.
Drugs of Faith’s lyrical content has been focused more and more around politics and social subjects.
