Every Time I Die are continuing to stay at the top of their game with the release of Radical, their first full-length in five years.
Radical captures the essence of Every Time I Die, merging clever lyricism with abrasive rock. The new album serves as a solid example of the successful consistency that the band’s music encompasses.

The long-awaited ninth studio album is a paradigm of just how great the band continue to be. Since the release of Low Teens in 2016, the five-piece have been actively involved with the creation of the new LP.
The band worked with producer Will Putney (Acacia Strain, Body Count, the Amity Affliction) to unleash their full potential across the 16-track record.
After a series of singles, including “Post-Boredom,” “AWOL,” “A Colossal Wreck,” “Planet Shit” and “Desperate Pleasures,” it’s safe to say that Radical is a major achievement for Every Time I Die.

The band became inspired by the social upheaval and unrest that the world has seen in the past five years. However, the album itself takes a different approach. Radical conceptually revolves around humanity, civility, self-worth and even spirituality.
“I’m dealing with difficult matters this time that isn’t only personal for me but are also universal and more communal experiences,” vocalist Keith Buckley says. “The songs are realistic in that they acknowledge that things require a lot of work. But it’s ultimately a very hopeful and uplifting record.”
