The band's fourth album, ''VOL. 4: SLAVES OF FEAR,'' dropped in February 2019, alongside a set of collaborative extra singles (made with fellow rabble-rousers JPEGMAFIA, Soccer Mommy, Youth Code and Ghostemane, among others) and the soundtrack to ''GTA Online''’s Arena War content update (continuing their long-standing creative partnership with Rockstar). All collaborations were later on re-released with a batch of new ones (featuring artists like The Soft Moon, Music/HundredGecs and Full of Hell) as ''[=DISCO4=] :: PART I'' in late 2020. The follow up ''[=DISCO4=] :: PART II'' was released a year and a half later - this time around featuring collaborations with artists like Music/{{Poppy}}, Music/NineInchNails, Music/LambOfGod, Music/TheBody, Perturbator, Backxwash and Music/TheNeighbourhood.

Also, you probably couldn't tell just by listening to the music, but any time spent on their social media accounts (including their Discord server) will reveal that they're [[JustForFun/OneOfUs huge turbo-nerds]] with a fondness for memes, video games, and anime. It helps makes more sense of their tendency to contribute to video game soundtracks.

-->-- '''HEALTH,''' ''"NEW COKE"''
Somewhere in the hollow depths between IndustrialMetal, {{EBM}} and pure NoiseRock, there's a band who takes it upon themselves to leave listeners as equally unsure of what they're hearing as they are intrigued.
Formed in the mid 2000s in the seedy club scene of Los Angeles, HEALTH (all caps) are a trio (formerly a quartet) who specialize in making loud music that's difficult to describe in terms of genre. Their work exhibits traits of the noise, electronic, punk, synthpop and industrial scenes, but labeling them as just one of the above would be too reductive. It's visceral, loud and room-shaking stuff that's earned them a spot in the pantheon of beloved indie acts.
Their self-titled debut released on a small L.A. based label, Lovepump United, in 2007, with a critically-acclaimed remix album, ''HEALTH::DISCO'' releasing the next year. Around the same time, a remix of their song "Crimewave" by indie duo Music/CrystalCastles boosted both bands' profiles.

! HEALTH::TROPES
* AmbiguousGender: Jake's singing voice isn't quite masculine or feminine, though this is averted with the band's appearances themselves.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: ''Jupiter Keyes.''
* CapsLock: In full effect with just about everything related to them, including their Instagram posts. Note that it's never just "Health," it's "HEALTH."
* DarkWave: Some of their output during the ''DEATH MAGIC'' era began to resemble this, a trend that continued into their releases leading up to and including the title track of ''SLAVES OF FEAR.''
* EverythingIsAnInstrument:
** This approach led to the creation of the ''Zoothorn,'' which Jupiter described in an interview once as a fancy name for a microphone hooked up to a guitar amp through some effects pedals. It makes a couple of appearances on their first two albums, with a track on their debut being, appropriately enough, named "ZOOTHORNS."
* HouseMusic: "FLESH WORLD (UK)" can be considered their take on it, with some of the remixes on their ''DISCO'' albums reworking their other songs into it (including the Phantoms remix of "LIFE" from ''[=DISCO3+=]'').
* IdiosyncraticCoverArt: All four of their albums have cover art with distorted geometric shapes, as well as a full track listing and the album title in CapsLock.
* IncrediblyLongNote: One 30-second segment in "NEW COKE" builds itself around a droning synth noise. It's only punctuated by its appearance in the song's video, which couples it with [[spoiler: an even longer slow-motion shot of Jupiter vomiting in a dingy club bathroom.]]
* LastNoteNightmare:
** "COURTSHIP II" features a variation on this, with the end of Jake's verse being followed up with a screeching distorted note before transitioning into a set of increasingly long droning noises.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to their first two albums, ''DEATH MAGIC'' is both more easily understood lyrically (by bringing Jake's vocals into the forefront) and takes a more melodic approach (most notably on the damn-near-synthpop tracks "LIFE" and "L.A. LOOKS").
* NewSoundAlbum: While it doesn't completely stray from the template set by the first two albums, ''DEATH MAGIC'' still qualifies as one of these through its flirtation with synthpop and the overall level of polish compared to its predecessors.
* RemixAlbum: A long-standing tradition of theirs.
** ''HEALTH::DISCO'' reworks tracks from their self-titled debut.
** ''[=DISCO2=]'' remixes tracks from ''GET COLOR.''
** ''[=DISCO3=]'' and ''[=DISCO3+=]'' both feature reworked tracks from ''DEATH MAGIC,'' with the former also receiving its own set of original bonus tracks peppered in (including "CRUSHER," previously released as part of the 2016 Creator/AdultSwim Singles Program).
* SelfTitledAlbum: Their first one, released in 2007 (though it has also been retroactively dubbed ''YOU WILL LOVE EACH OTHER'' by some fans).
* SurprisinglyGentleSong:
** "LIFE," while still exhibiting the band's characteristically loud nature, is one of these. According to Jake Duszik, the chorus was actually written after he had a dream where it was sung by one Dolly Parton.

! HEALTH::TROPES
* AmbiguousGender: Jake's singing voice isn't quite masculine or feminine, though this is averted with the band's appearances themselves.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: ''Jupiter Keyes.''
* CapsLock: In full effect with just about everything related to them, including their Instagram posts. Note that it's never just "Health," it's "HEALTH."
* DarkWave: Some of their output during the ''DEATH MAGIC'' era began to resemble this, a trend that continued into their releases leading up to and including the title track of ''SLAVES OF FEAR.''
* EverythingIsAnInstrument:
** This approach led to the creation of the ''Zoothorn,'' which Jupiter described in an interview once as a fancy name for a microphone hooked up to a guitar amp through some effects pedals. It makes a couple of appearances on their first two albums, with a track on their debut being, appropriately enough, named "ZOOTHORNS."
* HouseMusic: "FLESH WORLD (UK)" can be considered their take on it, with some of the remixes on their ''DISCO'' albums reworking their other songs into it (including the Phantoms remix of "LIFE" from ''[=DISCO3+=]'').
* IdiosyncraticCoverArt: All four of their albums have cover art with distorted geometric shapes, as well as a full track listing and the album title in CapsLock.
* IncrediblyLongNote: One 30-second segment in "NEW COKE" builds itself around a droning synth noise. It's only punctuated by its appearance in the song's video, which couples it with [[spoiler: an even longer slow-motion shot of Jupiter vomiting in a dingy club bathroom.]]
* LastNoteNightmare:
** "COURTSHIP II" features a variation on this, with the end of Jake's verse being followed up with a screeching distorted note before transitioning into a set of increasingly long droning noises.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to their first two albums, ''DEATH MAGIC'' is both more easily understood lyrically (by bringing Jake's vocals into the forefront) and takes a more melodic approach (most notably on the damn-near-synthpop tracks "LIFE" and "L.A. LOOKS").
* NewSoundAlbum: While it doesn't completely stray from the template set by the first two albums, ''DEATH MAGIC'' still qualifies as one of these through its flirtation with synthpop and the overall level of polish compared to its predecessors.
* RemixAlbum: A long-standing tradition of theirs.
** ''HEALTH::DISCO'' reworks tracks from their self-titled debut.
** ''[=DISCO2=]'' remixes tracks from ''GET COLOR.''
** ''[=DISCO3=]'' and ''[=DISCO3+=]'' both feature reworked tracks from ''DEATH MAGIC,'' with the former also receiving its own set of original bonus tracks peppered in (including "CRUSHER," previously released as part of the 2016 Creator/AdultSwim Singles Program).
* SelfTitledAlbum: Their first one, released in 2007 (though it has also been retroactively dubbed ''YOU WILL LOVE EACH OTHER'' by some fans).
* SurprisinglyGentleSong:
** "LIFE," while still exhibiting the band's characteristically loud nature, is one of these. According to Jake Duszik, the chorus was actually written after he had a dream where it was sung by one Dolly Parton.
