Alexisonfire have announced a new studio album, Bleed It, arriving on 19 March 2027 via Dine Alone Records. The Canadian five-piece have also released its lead single, Push the River, with an official video directed by Vanessa Heins.
It will be the band’s second album since their 2015 reunion, following 2022’s Otherness. But the early indications suggest that Alexisonfire are less interested in repeating past successes than expanding their sound.
Familiar intensity, unfamiliar textures
The new material combines towering guitars and contrasting vocals with electronic rhythms and more spacious arrangements. The band describe Push the River as a song about the restless mind and finding peace amid everyday chaos.
Wade MacNeil has suggested the group ended up making a record they had not originally planned, an intriguing description for a band whose creative chemistry has always depended on competing musical instincts.
A new chapter after Otherness
Bleed It was produced by Kevin Ratterman, with recording sessions at Revolution Recording in Toronto and Sonic Ranch in Texas.
The album announcement is accompanied by a spring 2027 North American co-headline tour with Poison The Well. No UK dates were announced as part of that itinerary.
With a reputation built on volatility and emotional release, Alexisonfire now have an opportunity to show how far that formula can stretch without losing its identity.
