Their best-known work includes the albums Get Color, Death Magic and RAT WARS, the Max Payne 3 soundtrack, and songs such as “STONEFIST,” “NEW COKE” and “Major Crimes.” In 2008, HEALTH opened selected dates on Nine Inch Nails’ Lights in the Sky tour. They later co-headlined a North American tour with Perturbator in 2022, bringing their full-band setup to theatres and clubs. In 2024, they opened the North American Teeth of God tour for Sleep Token.

Perturbator is the electronic project of French musician James Kent, launched in Paris in 2012. He is known for the darksynth albums Dangerous Days and The Uncanny Valley, as well as tracks including “Future Club” and “Venger.” Lustful Sacraments brought industrial rock and darkwave further into his sound. The Leather Sacraments Tour paired Perturbator with HEALTH for a North American run in 2022. Festival appearances at Roadburn and Hellfest have also placed his dark electronic set on programs centered on heavy and experimental music.
