Next month, Titus Andronicus come roaring back with The Most Lamentable Tragedy, the massive and overwhelming 93-minute rock opera that they've been working on forever. First single "Dimed Out" was exciting as hell, and now they're letting the world hear the truly badass follow-up "Fatal Flaw." The song rips in many of the same ways that "Dimed Out" does, but it's got this amazing lively chorus, as well, with some serious Stones/Replacements shimmy to it. That piano! Those strings! So good! The video, shot and edited by Jeremy Aquilino, consists entirely of footage from the band's rousing and life-affirming live shows. And as luck would have it, they've just announced a massive international tour. So below, check out the video and the tour dates.
