Infinity Knives & Brian Ennals – A City Drowned in God's Black Tears

A scorched-earth experimental hip-hop epic that rips open the seams of our modern world.

Baltimore’s Infinity Knives & Brian Ennals return with A City Drowned in God’s Black Tears - a record forged in grief, rage, gallows humor, and sonic chaos. Known for their genre-defying sound and unflinching commentary, the duo delivers another fiercely independent statement that’s as defiant as it is emotionally raw.

Originally conceived as an EP and derailed by personal loss, technical setbacks, and mental health battles, this album clawed its way into existence. What emerged is a vital body of work that takes aim at everything from late-stage capitalism and state-sanctioned violence to the broken myth of American redemption.

Production is handled with surgical chaos by Infinity Knives, aided by the brilliant FRANKI3, whose hand-built Eurorack modules and experimental sound design inject the album with its blistering, unpredictable edge. Tracks like “Sometimes, Papi Chulo” lurch between deep existential dread and bleak comedy - one moment you’re laughing, the next you’re reeling. Ennals’ lyrical delivery cuts through the fog like a molotov cocktail: sardonic, sharp, and seething with clarity.

The album’s sonic palette is deliberately unclassifiable - elements of jazz, industrial noise, drone, trap, ambient, and post-rock blur into a dissonant, beautiful fever dream. There are echoes of early El-P, Armand Hammer, and Death Grips, but A City Drowned in God's Black Tears is uniquely its own thing. 

This is outsider rap at its finest - raw, risky, and radically necessary. A document of collapse and survival. A noise you don’t forget.
