I ran into that when I was exploring their discography and I'm intrigued now.Originally Posted by mfte
Brushing up on their background, they really have a busy one with the band name controversy, to breaking up, only to reform 5 years later and return with a bang.

New IG post. Seb likes to do those piece by piece posts. Sorry I’m SM illiterate.
looks like they are hyping up a new release. I’m ready. Love these guys.

It was 3 years between The Physical World and Outrage, and it's been 3 years now since Outrage came out, so I'm optimistic a new album is getting released or at least announced this week.

Thanks! IG link → https://www.instagram.com/dfa1979/
They're 2 pics short of completing a 3x3 grid. I won't spoil the picture, except to say, it doesn't categorically say "new album", although I agree that's most likely.

welp...

Pretty sure Seb did the same thing before they announced Outrage!
Active Member
I'm sure that's what they're building to but I was naively hoping we'd at least get an announcement once the full image was up. I signed up for their mailing list though.

"I just thought this photoshop image of the logo looked cool. Thanks to our fans."
...but seriously I hope we're getting a single Friday?!

Has anyone called the number? I would but im at work
Active Member
I did. It's a robot reciting lyrics to a new song. No music playing or anything, just lyrics.
Only By Night
Seems to be lyrics to a new song titled "1+1". I'm guessing maybe a valentines day release from them?
Throbbing Member
I messaged Seb and told him I call a couple times a day hoping the song will play. He said, “Maybe one day the song will play!”
Only By Night
1+1 out February 3rd!

The little snippets sound more electro than previous work and I’m up for that.

New song rocks! Love the production on it.
Active Member
Love it. There was a signed version on their US site earlier and now its completely gone. Could they have sold them all already? It was gone within an hour I think, but they seem to still be available from the Canadian site.
Only By Night
This song really goes nowhere doesn't it? It's ok.
Throbbing Member
it doesn’t really. But is somehow fun AF. This record is gonna have a much different tone than Outrage! I think. That’s a hard one to follow up.
Active Member
So they're back to being Death From Above 1979 and not just Death From Above?
Only By Night
To be honest, I was expecting a little more after a 4 year break. Hopefully they expand a little more on this new record because if this single is any indication of what we will get, I am not that excited for this.
Active Member
Good call, I didn't notice that at first. Yeah, I wonder why that is. I thought that much like Ghost dropping the "B.C." from their name, they dropped the "1979" and were going by just "Death From Above" from now on.
Throbbing Member
I believe they tested the waters on it. They weren’t given “permission” to do it.
Active Member
That was my guess as well. I wonder if they were threatened with legal action or if a cease & desist was issued or something.
Active Member
They probably just realized how annoying changing your name in the middle of your career is when it comes to streaming services and digital stores. Lots of times, streaming services won't let you alter a release after the fact. So now your music is stuck on 2 different artist pages, one for Death From Above and one for Death From Above 1979. I think they realized it was just stupid to change their name and only makes it more confusion for new listeners in finding their music.
