Alexisonfire will release its sixth studio album, Bleed It, on March 19, 2027 through Dine Alone Records. The announcement arrives with lead single “Push the River,” a four-minute-plus track that sets dense guitar riffs and galvanizing vocals over whirring electronic beats. Physical editions are planned on CD, cassette and double vinyl, including several limited color variants.
The Ontario band approached the record without prewritten songs, building material together in the room and following ideas that did not fit a fixed brief. Kevin Ratterman produced the sessions at Revolution Recording in Toronto and Sonic Ranch in Texas. Alexisonfire describes the finished album as its most adventurous, balancing familiar ferocity with wider dynamic swings, more space in the arrangements and an industrial-electronic undercurrent.
Bleed It is the band’s second album since reuniting in 2015 and follows Otherness from 2022. Vanessa Heins directed the “Push the River” video, extending the single’s theme of finding peace inside mental bedlam through stark group movement and performance. Alexisonfire will support the album on a U.S. co-headline run with Poison the Well beginning March 25, with Touché Amoré opening every date.

Why it matters
Alexisonfire is not merely scheduling another post-reunion album: the band changed its writing method and is folding industrial electronics into the guitar-heavy language that defined it.
