Alexisonfire have announced new album ‘Otherness’, which will be the first full-length album in over 13 years from the band. ‘Otherness’ will be released on June 24 via Dine Alone Records. The album features 10 new tracks and the band have shared the first single, ‘Sweet Dreams Of Otherness’.
George Pettit says,
“This song was largely Dallas’ brain child but over the course of writing this record it became more of a mission statement for the band. It’s kind of about performance and embracing a new found confidence in a state of peculiarity.”
Pre-orders for physical variants will be available as of Friday, March 11 at 4pm GMT HERE.
A grinding and grunge filled hardcore fest, that sees the band in a more confident mature groove. The crushing guitars and hammering beat grabs from the first spin, as the vocals both clean and harsh are simple perfection.

Alexisonfire produced ‘Otherness’ themselves in roughly a week. They kept it a “family affair,” working closely with folks who’ve been with them for years. Writing took place at the Dine Alone Records clubhouse. The album includes organ, keys, and pedal steel from Green’s longtime collaborator Matt Kelly. Jill Zimmerman and Darren “Jeter” Magierowski (who is also Steele’s cousin) engineered, at Jukasa Recording Studios.
“The biggest difference is the space we are all in. We were all really thrilled to make a record, and it was such a respite from what was going on in the world. It felt like life could be beautiful,”
MacNeil says.
“We were supportive of one another. Everyone was in such a good mood. It was such a treat to be able to do it again.”
