Progressive post-hardcore veterans Alexisonfire have set a March 19th release date for highly-anticipated full length follow-up to the band's 2022 achievement, Otherness. Teaming with producer Kevin Ratterman (My Morning Jacket, Jim James), the announcement of Bleed It punctuates a career year for the Canadian collective who marked the 20th anniversary of their seminal release, Crisis, this year.
Offering a glimpse into the depth and evolved songwriting featured in the new collection of songs, Alexisonfire have shared a towering lead single in "Push the River". The band explained of the track, “‘Push The River’ is an anthem for the restless mind. It is about surrendering to the bedlam of one's own thoughts and finding peace in the chaos of the everyday task that is living and loving.”
The result of a fruitful series of studio sessions that brought the band together in a more collaborative way than ever before, Bleed It is defined by both it's sonic diversity and it's ability to translate as cohesive. Dallas Green explained of the songwriting process, “Instead of treating it like a segmented thing where ‘I do this, and you do that,’ we are all one. All five of us make this band. So why not treat the songwriting this way?”
Wade MacNeil added, “We've always been interested in pushing the band in a lot of different directions, and our influences are all over the place. And because we've been a band for so long at this point, we're capable of pulling it off.”
MacNeil finished, "We made the record we didn't set out to make, which ended up being the best conceivable thing we could have done.”
