On <em>Who Loves the Sun<\/em>, their third album, the Oklahoma City band assumes position with aplomb to tear apart \u201ctheir grievances with the modern world\u201d: AI, genocide, the powerful elite, isolating technology, and ever-mounting greed. And they fight back, with sludge riffs and droning guitars like plates of metal peeling backwards. Even as our planet itself erodes, Chat Pile still strive to keep their humanity despite what surrounds them.<\/p>\n<p><a
