Overview

Echoes in Eternity is the band's first album release in six years, due in part to lead singer Roger Miret's cancer diagnosis in 2021. In an interview Miret commented on the album stating: "I'm excited for our new release, 'Echoes in Eternity'. We have always taken risks, never followed the pack and are really proud of how the album turned out. The songs feel fresh, and the lyrics are current and personal. It's an attestment to our longevity, dedication, and leading the forefront in our genre. What we do in life now 'Echoes in Eternity' and it shows." [2]

The first single, "Way of War", was released on September 23, 2025. Following the song's release, Miret commented: "The track is very much a sign of the times! How the corrupt politicians greed pulls us and many other nations into senseless wars." [3] The second single, "Matter of Life & Death", was released on October 14 and features a collaboration with Darryl McDaniels of Run-DMC. The song was accompanied with a music video in which McDaniels was also featured. [4] The full album, their debut on Reigning Phoenix Music, was released on November 7. Four days later, the group debuted the music video for the song "Sunday Matinee". Miret stated the song is a celebration of "the gathering of friends, families and the joyous times when we all looked forward to our Sunday Matinee, particularly during the classic CBGB era." [5]

The band announced an East Coast tour beginning in December 2025 alongside Raw Brigade and Violent. [6] In February 2026, they will go on a European tour in support of the album. [7]
