Southeastern Wisconsin heavy rock veterans Carbellion return on November 13, 2026, with their relentless new full-length studio album, This Is Our Style, to be released via Eclipse Records.
Formed in 2004 with the belief that they were stronger together than apart, the group has built an enduring legacy across the American heavy music underground. The powerhouse lineup features vocalist Cameron Kellenberger, guitarists Brandon Bauer and Jamie Damrow, drummer Brent Nimz, and bass guitarist Steve Sheppard. Together, they deliver driving, high-octane anthems rooted in the raw authenticity of blue-collar life, seamlessly fusing elements of grunge, thrash, and desert stoner sludge into a distinct, radio-ready rock identity.
Carbellion forged their original path early on, self-releasing their debut EP American Heavy Rock in 2005 before dropping their full-length debut Villains in 2006. The band expanded their reach through split EPs and full-length records like 2009’s The Horse, followed by critical releases including the Headliner EP in 2013, the In Due Time EP in 2019, and their acclaimed 2023 Eclipse Records full-length Weapons of Choice. On stage, Carbellion has earned nationwide respect over 400 electrifying live performances across 20 states, sharing bills with legendary acts such as Motorhead, Corrosion of Conformity, Clutch, Queens of the Stone Age, Alice In Chains, Monster Magnet, Shinedown, and Sevendust.
Building upon two decades of relentless work, the band channels their veteran experience into This Is Our Style. Recorded at Belle City Sound, the eleven-track collection was produced by Carbellion alongside Chris Djuricic, known for his work with Nonpoint, Soil, and Jungle Rot. Legendary mastering engineer Andy VanDette, whose prestigious portfolio boasts iconic work with Rush, Porcupine Tree, and Beastie Boys, mastered the project at Evolve Mastering, bringing crisp clarity and massive depth to the band’s muscular sound.
The upcoming album consists of ten hard-hitting original compositions alongside a compelling cover of “Open Up Your Eyes” by alternative rock band Tonic. Cameron Kellenberger delivers clean yet aggressive vocal hooks that elevate the band’s signature heavy riffs. The album features key focus tracks that showcase the band’s songwriting range. “I Don’t Want To Be Your Dog” offers an introspective look at the exhaustion and performative expectations of the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, examining the moment the party ends and forcing a musician to choose between self-respect and cheap entertainment. The thunderous title track, “This Is Our Style,” serves as an absolute sonic mission statement, celebrating loud amplification, fast hot rods, and open-road adrenaline. Meanwhile, “Get Down” acts as a heavy spiritual successor to “Barfight” from their previous record, honoring direct, face-to-face accountability.
Ultimately, This Is Our Style represents a definitive milestone for Carbellion. By honoring their blue-collar roots while refining their sonic weight, the Wisconsin quintet proves that genuine, high-octane rock and roll remains vital, uncompromising, and louder than ever.

About Carbellion
Formed in 2004, Carbellion has built a durable legacy across the American underground through relentless touring, clearly raising them to the caliber of legendary acts like Corrosion of Conformity, Monster Magnet, and Clutch. Fresh off the heels of their 2023 album Weapons of Choice (also released via Eclipse Records), this new visual project reinforces why the Wisconsin quintet remains a vital, uncompromising force in modern heavy music.
“We felt that choosing this song as the first single was a great way to introduce the new album to everyone with our up-tempo rock n’ roll style and high energy delivery.” explains vocalist Cameron Kellenberger. “We’ve always liked the training facility at Dogs 2 Dog Tags as it’s a big room with a giant American flag displayed where they train rescued and donated dogs, giving them to veterans diagnosed with PTSD and anxiety. As most know, we herald our self-defined style as American Heavy Rock so it just felt right to be standing directly in front of a giant American flag. Also, filming myself in a manic state inside a dog cage serves as a visual nod to several themes that have long been part of the band’s identity, while also tying metaphorically to the song itself. At a high level, the lyrics explore the idea of outgrowing the need to be the center of attention and entertainment for others through reckless, self-destructive behavior. To reinforce those themes visually, we used dramatic lighting to create deep shadows throughout many of the shots. Kenny from Studio Meltdown then applied heavy, dirt-style filters during the editing process, giving the video a gritty, raw atmosphere that perfectly complements the song’s message and sound.”
This Is Our Style is the highly-anticipated new full-length album by Southeastern Wisconsin heavy rock veterans Carbellion, and it is set to drop on November 13, 2026. This massive eleven-track collection marks a bold new chapter for the band, delivering their signature blend of desert rock, stoner sludge, and traditional heavy rock. Following up on their acclaimed 2023 release Weapons of Choice through Eclipse Records, the group has spent over two decades forging an original path in the American underground music scene. The album structure consists of ten hard-hitting original compositions alongside a compelling cover of the classic track “Open Up Your Eyes” by alternative rock band Tonic.
The first major standout is “I Don’t Want to Be Your Dog,” an introspective track that examines the dark side of the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle. The thunderous title track, “This Is Our Style,” serves as an absolute sonic mission statement for the Wisconsin quintet, defining the core identity of the band, celebrating their mutual love for fast hot rods, loud amplification, and the adrenaline rush that comes from pushing both elements to the absolute limit. Finally, the aggressive track “Get Down” acts as a thematic spiritual successor to the song “Barfight” from their previous album, Weapons of Choice (2023, Eclipse Records).
This Is Our Style was produced by Carbellion and Chris Djuricic (Nonpoint, Soil, Jungle Rot) at Belle City Sound, and mastered by Andy VanDette (Beastie Boys, Porcupine Tree, Rush) at Evolve Mastering, and the album cover art was created by Chris Schultz. It is scheduled for release on November 13, 2026.
