Announce ‘Convinced’ EP out 6/30 on Equal Vision Records.

Anberlin announce their new EP, ‘Convinced’, set for release June 30th on Equal Vision Records. Celebrating 21 years as a band, Anberlin continue to expand their sonic palette, offering a sound that will captivate new and old fans alike. New single ‘Lacerate’ builds on an electronic beat that leads into an immense full band dynamic. The rhythms combine into a stadium-ready breakdown at 1:55, highlighted by thick guitars, pulsating drums, and scream-sung backing vocals. The cinematic video for ‘Lacerate’ thrives off the emotional push and pull of the song and can be viewed here now. Diving into the lyrics vocalist Stephen Christian stated:

“‘Lacerate’ is about a toxic and dysfunctional relationship; it’s about feeling trapped and existing only to hear negative things from the person you’re with; it’s a song about disillusionment, longing for release, and the conflicting emotions that come with a troubled relationship.”

‘Convinced’ follows Anberlin’s 2022 EP, ‘Silverline’, which marked the band’s first new music in eight years. On it, high-powered alternative rock meets a new wave influence to create a correspondence of light and dark moods. Entering Feral Sound Studios in Tampa, FL, the band self-produced the EP alongside help from friends Tim McTague (Underoath), Chad Carouthers, and JJ Revell. Anberlin will hit the road for a run of dates supporting Yellowcard this July, alongside planned appearances at two dates of the Is For Lovers festival and at Furnace Fest in September.

Anberlin is Stephen Christian (vocals), Nate Young (drums), Deon Rexroat (bass), Joey Milligan (guitar) and Christian McAlhaney (guitar).
