Anarcho-Punk Legends Conflict Are Back with ‘This Much Remains’

Conflict Announces First Album in Over Two Decades

‘This Much Remains’ Out April 25 via Mortarhate/Cadiz Music

Punk icons Conflict are back. After more than 20 years, the legendary anarcho-punk outfit is set to release This Much Remains, their first full-length album since 2003, arriving April 25 via Mortarhate/Cadiz Music. The album is available for pre-order now on CD, vinyl, and a limited-edition boxset.

To mark their return, Conflict has also unveiled the title track “This Much Remains”, alongside an official music video.

Still Loud, Still Defiant

Formed in 1981, Conflict has spent over four decades at the frontlines of punk’s most uncompromising movements. From their early days under the wing of Crass Records to their infamous Brixton Academy riot in 1987, the band has remained a genuine threat—a battering ram against authority, corporate greed, and political corruption.

With This Much Remains, Conflict proves their fire hasn’t faded. The 16-track album blends the raw intensity of their early work with an evolved sound, tackling themes of animal liberation, government corruption, environmental collapse, and the billionaire elite.

Conflict – This Much Remains

It’s the same old system and the same old song, forty years later and they’ve still got it wrong,” Colin Jerwood spits on “The Collusion Exclusion”, a track that cuts through modern political hypocrisy.

Meanwhile, “Cut The Crap” features a posthumous appearance from the late Benjamin Zephaniah, marking a full-circle moment—Zephaniah had previously performed with the band during their infamous Brixton show in 1987.

Guitarist Gav King promises the album will satisfy both old and new fans:

“We wanted it to evolve from the last records but still have elements of that classic Conflict angry sound that thousands of people fell in love with.”
