Alexisonfire confirm March 19, 2027 release date
Alexisonfire have announced Bleed It for March 19, 2027 through Dine Alone Records, alongside the lead single ‘Push the River’. The Ontario group, featuring George Pettit, Dallas Green, Wade MacNeil, Chris Steele and Jordan Hastings, announced the record on November 12. The album gives the band’s 2027 live plans a fresh creative centerpiece.
How Alexisonfire made Bleed It
The band’s announcement suggests the sessions followed a less rigid plan than expected. Wade MacNeil described the result as a record that emerged differently from what the musicians originally intended, a productive deviation rather than a compromised project. That’s an appealing prospect for a group whose identity has long rested on the tension between harsh vocals, melodic release and restless songwriting.
Push the River opens the next chapter
‘Push the River’ serves as the first public preview of the record. The single arrives months before the album and offers a new point of entry for listeners who know Alexisonfire primarily through their most celebrated earlier recordings.
Bleed It Tracklist:
1. Within Within Within
2. Push the River
3. What’s Left to Know But Love
4. Dogs of Chernobyl
5. Small Eternity
6. Forever Free
7. Congregation
8. Spider’s Dream
9. My Blood Is Yours
10. Holy Mother
11. Tread Lightly, Child
12. Milk
13. Iron Flowers For Suzie
14. Crushing Black

Alexisonfire are also set to co-headline a U.S. run with Poison the Well beginning March 25, shortly after the album lands. Metal Lair previously covered the 2027 tour announcement with Touché Amoré.
