Europe’s biggest horror punk band The Other are back with their long-awaited new studio album “Alienated”, set for release on October 31st, 2025, via Massacre Records – just in time for Halloween.
Following their 2020 chart success “Haunted”, “Alienated” marks a triumphant return to the band’s darker, punk-driven roots.
Produced by Tim Schulte (Massendefekt, Rogers, Callejon, Stefanie Heinzmann), mixed by Arne Neurand (Guano Apes, Subway To Sally, ZSK) at Horus Studios, and mastered by Olman V. Wiebe (Kreator, Caliban, Sondaschule), the album delivers a raw yet powerful sound that captures both classic horror punk energy and modern intensity.
The first single, “I Give You the Creeps”, is a perfect introduction to the album’s direction: fast-paced punk verses, a massive sing-along chorus, and vampire-themed lyrics that will instantly resonate with fans. Directed by guitarist J. Ends, the accompanying music video perfectly channels the band’s gothic-horror aesthetics and live energy.
Watch the lyric video for “I Give You the Creeps” below.
Frontman Rod Usher describes “Alienated” as a “back to the roots” album that merges the immediacy of their early work with fresh ideas born from the band’s revitalized lineup. The return of founding bassist Andy Only, alongside guitarists J. Ends and Van Tom and drummer Jag Boone, has injected new energy and creative firepower into the band.
Thematically, the album revolves around feelings of estrangement and darkness – from the existential weight of “Alienated” and “Die Human Die”, to campy horror tributes like “The Witch From Outer Space” and “Horror Movie Monster”.
With 13 tracks of haunting anthems, sinister sing-alongs, and horror-soaked storytelling, “Alienated” might just be The Other’s darkest and most powerful album to date.
