Having been dropping new tracks for the past couple of months, The Word Alive have announced their new album, Hard Reset, set for release on August 25.
Speaking about what will be the band's seventh album, frontman Telle Smith had a message for fans.
"There will be talks of returning to our roots, blending eras of The Word Alive and of course, evolution," he said. "As you embark on this next chapter with us, we hope you’ll find something worthy of connection. Whether it helps you overcome, forget, remember, embrace, or even escape… We hope you’ll enjoy the seventh chapter of our story, and remember.. We are The Word Alive, all of us."
To mark the album's announcement, they've also released a new song from it, the powerful Slow Burn.
“This song is like a vision of yourself getting into a car crash in slow motion," explains Telle of the song. "You’re helpless and nobody can save you but yourself… But it’s too late. Is it a vision? Or is it inevitable?”
