## Resource

Failure’s new album Location Lost arrived amid chaos — frontman Ken Andrews nearly died from a back injury that delayed recording by years. Hospitalized with critical vitals, he was minutes from death, a sobering wake-up call that reshaped his outlook and seeped into the music. The result? A bold, genre-hopping record that proves their resilience after a 19-year gap, all while celebrating the 30th anniversary of their landmark Fantastic Planet — not by looking back, but by boldly forging ahead.
