Their music has been a reliable black mirror of reality. And now, as the band releases their monumental tenth album, “Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs,” the real world looks more like an Alkaline Trio song than ever before-midway through a global meltdown and 90 seconds to midnight on the Doomsday Clock. z2ent.com.
