SiM are preparing for their appearance at Slam Dunk Festival this weekend with the announcement of their new full-length album.

Titled ‘HOOMAN AFTER ALL’, it is set for release on September 02 via UNFD. It serves as the follow-up to the band’s previous output, 2024’s ‘PLAY DEAD’.

Frontman MAH had this to say about the announcement, stating, “We are so pumped to announce that our new album HOOMAN AFTER ALL drops September 2! This album is our full-on tribute to the prime era of rock from the late ’90s to early 2000s. It feels fresh, but at the same time, there’s this weird nostalgia running through it. We’re taking this album all over the world, so get ready. See you in the pit!”

The artwork looks like this:

Whilst the tracklisting is a bit more like this:

1. FIVE TIMES DEAD (by my wallet)
2. BLiNDEYES ft. Yukina from HANABIE.
3. DALALA
4. HOLD MY BEER
5. Karen’s Son
6. The Sniffling Cats Ska feat. HEY-SMITH
7. HOOMAN AFTER ALL
8. GHOST IN TOKYO
9. ZiON feat. Masato from coldrain
10. BLACK SUBMARINE
11. FREEZE ME UP
12. Sailing On

And the latest track pulled from the record is out now as well, in the form of ‘BLiNDEYES’, which features a guest appearance from HANABIE.’s own Yukina. Cutesy, cutting and catchy as all sin, it’s going to be trapped in your head in minutes.

MAH had this to add about the track, stating, “‘Mou sumimasen deha sumimasen’ means ‘Your apology won’t fix this anymore.’ Yukina added the perfect spice to my rage track. Can’t wait to tear it up live!”

You can also check out ‘FIVE TIMES DEAD (by my wallet)’, a crushing, sporadic piece of brilliantly eccentric metalcore brilliance. Punishing, unpredictable and as catchy as heavy music can possibly get, it is full of character and charm as much as it is pit-spinning intent.
