Alexisonfire will release Bleed It on 19 March through Dine Alone Records, and Push The River is out now with a video directed by Vanessa Heins.
It is the second album since the five of them came back in 2015, after Otherness in 2022, and it was made in a way the band had not tried before. They booked Revolution Recording in Toronto with nothing written, and Dallas Green brought in drum loops and melody free electronic pieces for the others to play against rather than guitar riffs. Sixteen months of that produced the record, finished with Kevin Ratterman and continued at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas.
"We've always been interested in pushing the band in a lot of different directions, and our influences are all over the place," Wade MacNeil said. "And because we've been a band for so long at this point, we're capable of pulling it off."
A co headline tour with Poison The Well follows, from 25 March at South Side Ballroom in Dallas to 27 April at House of Blues in Boston, with Touché Amoré on every date and a dollar from each ticket going to PLUS1 for homelessness. The year behind them had two sold out nights in Toronto for the twentieth anniversary of Crisis, thirty two thousand tickets between them.
