Fallujah announce new album ‘Xenotaph’

FALLUJAH have announced a new album!

Titled Xenotaph, the upcoming album from the San Francisco-based technical death metal band is the follow-up to 2022’s Empyrean, and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.

The upcoming album was produced by the band, engineered by Dave Otero [CATTLE DECAPITATION, ARCHSPIRE] and Mike Low [VITRIOL, ABORTED] at Flatline Audio in Denver, Colorado and Top Track Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. Otero also mixed and mastered Xenotaph.

Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Kyle Schaefer says, “we are excited to finally reveal FALLUJAH’s new album Xenotaph, marking the sixth chapter in our discography. This is our most ambitious record yet, and is certainly the band’s most technical, dynamic and progressive material to date. The music carried out by these eight tracks is matched with an equally ambitious concept, a lyrical story that traverses unfolding layers of time and reality in an otherworldly, post-death realm of existence.

Xenotaph is also our most collaborative album, with broad input from the current lineup leading us to expand the scope of our songwriting while simultaneously highlighting the true potential of everyone involved. We hope you’ll join us in welcoming this bold new stage of the band’s evolution.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, FALLUJAH have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Kaleidoscopic Waves. Speaking about the new song, Schaefer shares, “we knew Kaleidoscopic Waves would be the perfect track to usher in this new era of FALLUJAH. It unmistakably showcases the soaring atmospheres and remarkable technicality the band is already known for, but with a new level of melodic depth and an invigorating desire to push beyond the boundaries of our previous work. It’s hard to fully encapsulate the vast scope of our new album with a single song, but Kaleidoscopic Waves is a great place to start.”
