The legendary act have also announced plans to take the record on the road, announcing their final ever Australian headline tour for this April. Fans in Adelaide, Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane will be treated to one final mosh.

As for new single ‘Burn It Down’, frontman Josh Stuart describes is as “a statement against discrimination, corruption, and the abuse of power, and we wanted the music video to reflect that intensity”.

“We chose an abandoned, crumbling warehouse as the setting to symbolise the fractured systems and social decay the song addresses,” he says.

The track arrives with a blockbuster music video, shot by Peter John from Epik Films, which you can suss premiering exclusively on Music Feeds up above.

“In the video, the band represents a resistance movement that begins in secrecy; with masks and darkness to conceal our identity,” Stuart explains. “As the story unfolds, the masks come off, and the band steps into the light, signifying progress and defiance against oppression. We were extremely fortunate to collaborate with director Peter John from Epik Films, who transformed our vision into an incredible music video!”
