Afterlife have revealed the details of their new full-length album, their first in five years, and it’s set to be an emotional one.

Titled ‘The Pain That Shapes Us’, it is set for release on November 06 via Mascot Records. It follows on from 2021’s ‘Part of Me’.

Vocalist Tyler Levenson had this to say about the record:

“The Pain That Shapes Us is the album that the band needed to write. We pulled the curtain back more than ever, revealing the rawest, most honest, and vulnerable sides of who we are as a group and what we’ve been through. It’s a reminder that our struggles, while painful, are also what makes us who we are.”

The artwork looks like this:

Whilst the tracklisting is more like this:

1. A Thousand Warnings
2. Bad Habits
3. Vertigo
4. Bleed You Dry
5. Empty
6. Sick Of It
7. Crash And Burn
8. Playing God
9. Bite
10. More To Life
11. Parasite Of The Mind

It will feature the already released ‘Bad Habits’, ‘Bleed You Dry’, and ‘A Thousand Warnings’, as well as the newly unreleased ‘Empty’, which sees them change the pace in a big way.

An atmospheric, soaring, densely layered piece of emotional modern rock, it allows the weight of its words to linger on you that little bit longer.

Tyler had this to say about it:

“‘Empty’ navigates the reality of a devastating heartbreak, exploring the weight of emotional emptiness and mental exhaustion. For me, it’s one of the most vulnerable songs on the album, born from a collection of unfortunate experiences woven into one tragic outcome. The emotional honesty guided not only the lyrics but also the sound of the track. During this song’s creation, we wanted the atmosphere to match the moodiness of the lyrics, allowing us to create a unique sonic landscape, setting the song apart on the album… When writing this song, I knew that the only way to truly express the song’s emotions was through singing them, making ‘Empty’ the first Afterlife track without screaming or rapping.”
