The announcement arrives alongside the release of \u201cPowerless,\u201d the album's opening track and first single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">While the record carries a strong spirit of resistance and defiance, it also preserves the vulnerability and emotional honesty that made Engine of Hell (2021) resonate so deeply with listeners around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Unlike its predecessor, These Killing Times marks a return to a full-band format. The album features contributions from Jess Gowrie (Chelsea Wolfe, Mrs. Piss), Troy Zeigler, Patrick Shiroishi, Nick Reinhart (Tera Melos), Gina Gleason (Baroness), Marissa Nadler, Lukas Frank (Storefront Church), and Amelia Baker (Cinder Well), creating a brighter, more urgent sonic landscape than previous releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The album features the participation of musicians such as Jess Gowrie (Chelsea Wolfe, Mrs. Piss), Troy Zeigler, Patrick Shiroishi, Nick Reinhart (Tera Melos), Gina Gleason (Baroness), <strong>Marissa Nadler<\/strong>, <strong>Lukas Frank<\/strong> (<strong>Storefront Church<\/strong>) and <strong>Amelia Baker<\/strong> (<strong>Cinder Well<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"Emma Ruth Rundle, Powerless - Official Video\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RevPslL4QyQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Emma Ruth Rundle, Powerless - Official Video\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RevPslL4QyQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Discussing \u201cPowerless,\u201d Rundle explained: \u201cThis song was initially titled \u2018Noam Chomsky is Dead to Me\u2019 - as his relationship to Epstein and the billionaire class was being exposed - just another massively disappointing headline in a time where we are incessantly confronted with an onslaught of news and headlines which are endlessly demoralizing and dehumanizing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">She further stated: \u201cThis song - like most of the songs on \u2018These Killing Times' - is a reaction to the horrors we are seeing laid bare on a daily basis - the clear and painful reality of the myriad injustices levied upon the working class people of earth - from climate collapse to genocide to the miscarriage of justice on a scale- the likes of which we have not seen in our lifetimes- the collapse of empire, the demise of democracy, the erosion of women\u2019s rights and LGBTQIA+ rights and black rights, the attempt to dehumanize immigrants and people of color, the concentration camps in the USA. With \u2018Powerless\u2019 - I invoke the hammer; both to destroy and to build - something better. I want people to know they are not alone - they are not insane.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The album began taking shape in early 2025 as Rundle watched the effects of another climate-related disaster unfold from afar. Reflecting on the systemic issues behind many global crises, she made a conscious decision to create a hopeful record despite the overwhelming circumstances surrounding its creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The album was recorded by Sonny Diperri, known for his work with My Bloody Valentine, Trent Reznor, and These New Puritans, continuing a creative partnership with Rundle that spans more than a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Rather than turning inward, she chose collaboration and community. \u201cI wanted to feel fortified by friendships and to be in community with other musicians - to make something that pushed back against the isolation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">In addition to her music career, Rundle remains an active visual artist. In 2025 she released her first poetry collection, The Bella Vista, further expanding a body of work that moves fluidly between music, literature, and visual arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ac9449;color:#ac9449\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>These Killing Times \u2014\u00a0<\/em>Tracklist:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1 &#8211; Powerless<br>2 &#8211; God\u2019s Picture<br>3 &#8211; Anvil<br>4 &#8211; Catherine Wheel<br>5 &#8211; Don\u2019t Delay Heaven<br>6 &#8211; Enough<br>7 &#8211; Human Kindness<br>8 &#8211; Oceans of Time<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ac9449;color:#ac9449\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28.png\" alt=\"Emma Ruth Rundle anuncia nuevo \u00e1lbum, &#039;These Killing Times&#039; y estrena single, &#039;Powerless&#039;\" class=\"wp-image-64933\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28.png 900w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-770x770.png 770w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-293x293.png 293w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-390x390.png 390w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-585x585.png 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28.png\" alt=\"Emma Ruth Rundle anuncia nuevo \u00e1lbum, &#039;These Killing Times&#039; y estrena single, &#039;Powerless&#039;\" class=\"wp-image-64933\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28.png 900w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-770x770.png 770w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-293x293.png 293w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-390x390.png 390w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-28-585x585.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La compositora, multiinstrumentista, poeta y artista visual Emma Ruth Rundle anunci\u00f3 el lanzamiento de These Killing Times, su sexto \u00e1lbum de estudio, que llegar\u00e1 el pr\u00f3ximo 18 de septiembre a trav\u00e9s de su propio sello, Errant Child.
