The Suicide Machines are set to re-release their politically charged 2005 album War Profiteering Is Killing Us All, now remastered and pressed as a stunning zoetrope picture disc — a format that creates a looping animation effect when the record spins under the right lighting or frame rate. Limited to just 800 units, this special edition is available exclusively through the SideOneDummy website.
Originally released at the height of post-9/11 unrest and the Iraq War, War Profiteering is one of the band’s most furious and focused records. Known for their blend of ska-punk and hardcore, The Suicide Machines dialed up the aggression here, delivering 15 tracks of blistering protest anthems that challenge war, capitalism, and media manipulation. Songs like “17% 18 to 25,” “Capitalist Suicide,” and the title track still resonate with urgency and fire nearly two decades later.
The new zoetrope edition doesn’t just sound sharper thanks to remastering — it visually comes alive. The vinyl’s artwork has been carefully designed so that when it spins, it creates a looping animated sequence, merging sound and motion into a uniquely punk artifact. It’s a collector’s dream that still screams resistance.
This reissue is more than just a nod to the past — it’s a timely revival of a record that reminds us punk’s political bite is as necessary as ever. With only 800 copies pressed, it’s a powerful piece of music and message, now spinning with new intensity.
