Alexisonfire set March release for Bleed It as Push The River opens a new chapter
Alexisonfire have announced their new album, Bleed It, due for release on 19th March 2027 via Dine Alone Records. The record is introduced by lead single Push The River, accompanied by a video directed by Vanessa Heins.
Push The River finds the Ontario five-piece leaning into a heavier, more spacious strain of post-hardcore, with towering guitars set against electronic pulses and a restless rhythmic undercurrent. The band describe the track as “an anthem for the restless mind”.
They add: “It is about surrendering to the bedlam of one’s own thoughts and finding peace in the chaos of the everyday task that is living and loving.”

A record built from open-ended sessions
Bleed It is Alexisonfire’s second full-length since their 2015 reunion and follows 2022’s Otherness. Rather than arriving at Revolution Recording in Toronto with finished material, the group began with no pre-written songs, developing ideas across 16 months of open-ended demos.
Dallas Green brought in instrumental starting points including drum loops and electronic sketches, with the rest of the band building around them in the studio. The album was produced by Kevin Ratterman and further developed at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas.
Wade MacNeil says: “We’ve always been interested in pushing the band in a lot of different directions, and our influences are all over the place. And because we’ve been a band for so long at this point, we’re capable of pulling it off.”
George Pettit adds: “It’s obviously a very diverse record but he found a cohesive way to make them blend together.”
MacNeil says of the finished album: “We made the record we didn’t set out to make, which ended up being the best conceivable thing we could have done.”
