The Word Alive premier new song. Contributed by Alex Bock

March 9, 2017

Building up the tension over the last few days, The Word Alive released a new song and video today. The track is called ‘Misery’. Check it out here: Here’s the bands statement to how the song came about We wanted to bridge the gap between our newest album “Dark Matter” and the writing process of what will become our fifth studio album. It’s incredible to know the exact direction we will be exploring with our next record before writing even one song. After Warped Tour it was clear that we had something special with our newer material, especially songs like “Trapped” “Made This Way” and “Dreamer”.

So we booked studio time with Matt Good (Dark Matter) to write an additional song. We booked five days with Matt and wrote “Overdose” within the first two days. We were feeling in the groove so we [Read More]

Wiesbaden, Schlachthof, May 23rd, 2016 This time I made a bit of a longer trip to cover a show for you and I chose the Schlachthof in Wiesbaden. The venue was recently rebuilt. It reopened at the end of 2015. Everything is still shiny and new and it’s a nice venue of the small and cozy kind. Just two months after the release of their recent record ‘Dark Matter’ The Word Alive went out on European Tour that included, besides a few German dates, also Slam Dunk Festival dates in the UK. By the time you read this, the tour is over and they’re back in the US relaxing and probably rehearsing for the upcoming Warped Tour Cycle, which the band will be on again. But back to the Wiesbaden show. Telle and Dani took their time to sit down with us and talk about the tour, the record, Warped Tour and much more. Check the interview out here: Show started around 7 pm. The Word Alive had three support bands, two of them [Read More]

The Word Alive announce dates for The Dark Matter European Tour

February 25, 2016

The Word Alive have just announced dates for their Dark Matter Tour in Europe this May. Telle comments, “We couldn’t be more excited to announce that we’ll be bringing our Dark Matter Tour overseas. Get ready for a mix of our favorite Dark Matter songs and your favorites off of Deceiver, Life Cycles and REAL. Get tickets and we’ll see you soon!“. They have just released their second single “Sellout” from their upcoming record Dark Matter. It’s a pretty heavy track. Makes one wonder, if the record as a whole will be much heavier than ‘Real’. Well, we’ll see. Only about a month to go now. Dark Matter will be released March 18th .
