Pharmakon’s Maggot Mass isn’t just an album—it’s a reckoning. After a five-year silence, Margaret Chardiet returns with her most visceral, unflinching work yet, channeling grief, rage, and grim clarity through a seething blend of noise, industrial, and punk. Tracks like “Claw” and “Face In the Sea” aren’t just sound—they're psychic excavation, pulling humanity’s rot to the surface.

This fifth full-length from Sacred Bones Records marks a radical departure from Pharmakon’s earlier self-imposed constraints, creating space for a brutal new truth. Chardiet discards aesthetic purity for raw, ideological confrontation—noisier, nastier, and more human than ever.

Maggot Mass grapples with ecological collapse and species alienation, asking: what’s our worth in a world we’ve ravaged? The album doesn’t answer—it demands we decompose and listen.
