On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Johnny Famiglietti of HEALTH.

At the tail end of last year, HEALTH returned with CONFLICT DLC — a collection of menacing neo-industrial songs comprising all the anger, fear, and sadness of our current reality.

Following up RAT WARS, the album is a continuation of what they started in 2023 but gets darker and heavier, thanks in part to working with Knocked Loose collaborator Drew Folk.

Ahead of their spring headlining tour, the bassist/producer stopped by the Artist Friendly studio to discuss how Elden Ring inspired the band’s recent full-length, his omnivorous music taste, and the eternal pleasure of live music.
