HEALTH Live at Palladium in Hollywood, CA 5/01/2026

HEALTH, the Los Angeles–based electro‑industrial trio, returned home on tour for their latest release, Conflict DLC, delivering a set that was as punishing as it was strangely soothing. Their signature juxtaposition—harsh electronics, grinding guitars, and relentless rhythmic assault paired with Jake Duzsik’s soft, direct vocal delivery—remains one of the most compelling contrasts in modern heavy music.

Over the years, the band has earned significant visibility through touring with Nine Inch Nails and collaborating with artists as varied as Trent Reznor, Randy Blythe of Lamb of God, and Poppy. Their creative reach extends even further into video‑game soundtracks and a clear affection for anime, all of which feed into their dystopian, cyberpunk aesthetic.

The core lineup—Duzsik on vocals and guitar, John Famiglietti on bass and electronics, and B.J. Miller on drums—was joined tonight by the touring guitarist from Carpenter Brut, adding extra weight to an already massive sound.

The setlist was equally huge: eighteen songs, with seven each from the last two albums. SLAVES OF FEAR made its presence known with “Feel Nothing,” and the band even dipped into their soundtrack work, including “Tears” from Max Payne. Between songs, Johnny Health tossed out a few crude, self‑deprecating jokes (“What’s the difference between an erection and a Maserati? I don’t have a Maserati.”), earning the expected groans and laughs.

Before the final two tracks, Duzsik addressed the crowd to make it clear that HEALTH doesn’t do encores—no theatrics, no leaving the stage to be summoned back. He then shifted into a brief, sincere reflection on mental health and the universality of struggle, a moment that landed heavily before they launched into “Don’t Kill Yourself.”

I’ve seen HEALTH several times now, and their audience keeps expanding. Tonight’s sold‑out 4,000‑capacity show proved just how far they’ve come. Both Carpenter Brut and HEALTH were met with overwhelming enthusiasm, and it’s hard not to imagine their trajectory continuing upward. Despite their increasingly rock‑star status, they still come across as grounded, genuine musicians whose lyrics cut with bleak honesty. Their world is dystopian, cyberpunk, and unflinchingly dark—but there’s beauty in that darkness, and clearly the masses feel it too.

The intensity of their live sound is something to behold. This show will be ringing in my memory for a long time, and I’m already looking forward to the next one.
