Fission | CD | Dead Poet Society

The new album from Dead Poet Society proves depth and substance without losing its familiar charm.

After a decade of defining, redefining, and perfecting their art, Dead Poet Society finds themselves in a much clearer position on the eve of their second release. Make no mistake: Dead Poet Society is a uniquely captivating band, the next major breakthrough in rock music, and 'FISSION' will capture the hearts of both old and new fans on the upcoming journey while challenging their minds. When asked what listeners should take away from 'FISSION,' the upcoming second album from Dead Poet Society, Jack Underkofler responds with eight small but meaningful words: 'We want to leave them with the truth.'

Following their acclaimed debut '-!-' (2021), 'FISSION' attempts to decipher the personal journey of its creators up until now. As the title suggests, 'FISSION' is a 13-track study of personal change and the turbulence of growth that, as Underkofler confirms, 'takes a microscopic and comprehensive look at the events that have changed us.' The result is a captivating album with depth and substance that moves within the spectrum of anthemic alternative, dark hard rock, and progressive indie. 'FISSION' is simultaneously comforting and unsettling, raw and analog. Unexpected twists and deviations often reveal themselves; repeated listening uncovers even greater secrets.
