Multi-platinum, two-time JUNO Award-winning Canadian rock icons Alexisonfire have announced the March 19 release of their new album Bleed It via Dine Alone Records. Never an easy band to pigeonhole, the Ontario five-piece of George Pettit, Dallas Green, Wade MacNeil, Chris Steele and Jordan Hastings have always incorporated a diverse array of influences. Bleed It, their 6th studio album and second full-length since reuniting in 2015, is their most adventurous record yet. Across its 14 tracks, there’s no shortage of the band’s trademark ferocity, alongside rich dynamic shifts, spacious arrangements and industrial-tinged electronica.
Today they offer a peek into the LP by way of lead-single “Push the River,” which propels the band’s blueprint forward, combining skyscraping guitar riffs and galvanizing vocals with an undercurrent of whirring beats. On the track the band say, “‘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.”
Pre-orders for physical editions begin Friday, November 13 at 11am ET via the band’s official store HERE and Dine Alone Store HERE. Additional retailer-exclusive variants will be released at various times, beginning this Friday with Equal Vision Records at 11am ET and Banquet Records in the UK at 4pm GMT. Bleed It will be available on CD, cassette and vinyl, including a variety of limited-edition colour vinyl options. Each double LP is housed in a spot-gloss gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeves.
