"New Disease" came off The Height of Callousness, Spineshank's second album, released on Roadrunner in 2000: industrial metal with the machinery in plain view. Garth Richardson produced it, with drummer Tommy Decker and guitarist Mike Sarkisyan co-producing. Decker also handles the electronics and wrote the lyrics, Jonny Santos sings lead and Robert Garcia plays bass, and Frank Gryner and Scott Humphrey mixed it.
It got around, landing on the soundtracks of the video games Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder and MX Superfly and the film 3000 Miles to Graceland. Its video has the band playing in a room while a man fixes a CCTV camera and Santos talks to a girl sitting on her own. She, a boy and the repairman turn out to be floating, and after the second chorus the sky darkens and everyone but the band drops to the ground.
