Hoaxed announce new album ‘Death Knocks’
Portland, Oregon dark rock trio HOAXED have announced their brand new album!
Titled Death Knocks, the record marks the band’s return after three years of writing and evolution since 2022’s Two Shadows. The album is scheduled to be released on February 13th, 2026 via Relapse Records.
Speaking about the new album, the band says, “Death Knocks is an exploration of what comes next. The songs speak to experiences on the edge of death, last moments in this plane, and trepidations, curiosities, and embrace of the unknown.
We’ve added another element to the writing and collaboration process. April comes from a classic heavy metal background, and her influence is in these songs. We’ve also had experiences on tour that have helped shape these songs. You can hear influence from the bands we toured with and learned from. We played together for three years as we wrote this album, and we learned a lot about our styles, and our sound evolved naturally together on stage. So, when we sat down to write this album, it didn’t feel like a departure or a change.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the official music video for the lead single and album opener, Where the Seas Fall Silent. The video was produced by the band with Jed Hamilton.
