Cloud Nothings announce new album ‘What Kind Of Hell Did You Survive?’

CLOUD NOTHINGS have announced a brand new album!

The American indie rock band’s new album, What Kind Of Hell Did You Survive?, is set for release on January 29th, 2027 via Pure Noise Records. The record follows 2024’s Final Summer and sees the band embrace a significantly heavier, metal-influenced direction.

Alongside the album announcement, the band have shared a brand new single, Death Keeps Me Alive, accompanied by an official music video.

Speaking about the new track and the album’s direction, vocalist/guitarist Dylan Baldi says, “lyrically Death Keeps Me Alive is from the point of view of a lurking evil power that never gets fully defeated in the world and feeds off of death, war and hate, which is kind of a fun generically ‘metal’ thing to sing about. I hope people hear this song and get excited for what the rest of the record could possibly sound like, and recognise that this is going to be a new version of CLOUD NOTHINGS that didn’t really have a precedent prior to this recording.”

Discussing the new album, Baldi explains, “the album is our attempt to pay homage to the heavy rock music we’ve been listening to over the last few years. Some pretty direct and popular musical influences on the tracks are QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, MOTÖRHEAD, EARTH, and ELECTRIC WIZARD. We were feeling a little pigeonholed in the indie rock world and wanted to make a change in our sound that revealed a different facet of our interests and abilities.”

He continues, “lyrically I was inspired by a lot of more political metal and hardcore. The songs deal with cruel governments, the importance of community, and occasionally a general rage at the state of the world.”
