Background and style

Originally, work had begun on the album with producer James Ford in late 2024. but he had to leave the following year after being diagnosed with leukaemia—by July, Ford had been in remission. [2] From the Pyre was ultimately recorded in 2025 with producer Markus Dravs. The band said the songs from the album "are character-driven but still deeply personal," adding that the record is intended to be "a little darker, more raw and more earthy" than their debut Prelude to Ecstasy. [1]

Promotion and singles

On 17 July 2025, the band released the lead single "This Is the Killer Speaking" alongside a music video [1] and the announcement for the album. The song, which originally debuted live at the Metronome Festival in Prague in June 2024, was described in Billboard as "jaunty" and "country-tinged". [5] After announcing in late August 2025 that another single, "The Scythe", was on the way, [6] it was released on 5 September with another music video and additional details for their upcoming tour. [7] The album's third single and music video for the song "Second Best" will be released on 1 October 2025. [8]
