5/5Alongside the track and film by thefinaleye, Massive Attack are publishing a spoken-word reflection from the novelist Omar El Akkad, author of the novels American War and What Strange Paradise, as well as the non-fiction work, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This.Massive Attack said in their own statement: “It’s a career honour to collaborate with an artist of the magnitude, originality and integrity of Tom, but this track is arriving in an atmosphere of chaos. Across the western hemisphere, state authoritarianism and the militarisation of police forces are fusing again with neo-fascist politics.“Seen within the American emergency, at home and overseas, this track contains pulses of callous impulse and abandoned mind.”“Boots on the Ground” is out now. Massive Attack are on tour from 27 May 2026.
