"Fission" LP by Dead Poet Society

Appears on colored, limited Vinyl (Blue Curacao)
The new album by Dead Poet Society proves depth and substance without losing the familiar charm.

After a decade in which Dead Poet Society has defined, redefined, and perfected their art, the situation in which they find themselves on the eve of their second release is much clearer. Make no mistake: Dead Poet Society is a uniquely captivating band, the next big breakthrough in rock music, and 'FISSION' will conquer the hearts of old and new fans on the upcoming journey and challenge their minds. When asked what listeners should take away from 'FISSION,' Dead Poet Society's upcoming second album, Jack Underkofler responds with eight small but meaningful words: 'We want to leave them with the truth.'

Following their celebrated debut '-!-' (2021), 'FISSION' attempts to decipher the personal journey of its creators up until now. As the title suggests, 'FISSION' is a 13-track study of personal change and the turbulence of growth that, as Underkofler confirms, 'takes a microscopic and comprehensive look at the events that have changed us.' The result is a captivating album with depth and substance that moves in the spectrum of anthemic alternative, dark hard rock, and progressive indie. 'FISSION' is simultaneously comforting familiar and unsettlingly foreign, raw and analog. Unexpected twists and deviations often reveal themselves; repeated listening reveals even greater secrets.
