ARCHSPIRE, the world’s fastest band, are proud to announce their upcoming album, ‘TOO FAST TO DIE,’ due out on April 10, 2026. To coincide with the announcement, the band has unleashed the lead single, “Carrion Ladder,” offering a first glimpse into the new record. The track arrives alongside an official music video, directed by the band’s own Dean Lamb and Oliver Rae Aleron, available below.
Vocalist Oliver Rae Aleron comments:
“What’s that, ARCHSPIRE is newly single??? OH ARCHSPIRE‘s NEW single!! After 4 years of hard work, dedication, evading police, evidence tampering, espionage, supreme court rulings, rico charges and AA meetings, we’re finally able to present to our few remaining fans a brand-new music video for our first single ‘Carrion Ladder’ off of our upcoming album ‘TOO FAST TO DIE’ Please enjoy with the whole family this holiday season! (No moms were injured in the making of this film)”

Since 2009, ARCHSPIRE has aimed to be one thing above all else: extreme. With their upcoming release ‘TOO FAST TO DIE,’ they’ve once again raised the bar for what extreme music can be.
“We’re like a bit of meth in your cigarette,” says vocalist Oliver Rae Aleron, describing the band’s unhinged live show. “I think people don’t quite know how to describe what they’re hearing.”
Now five albums deep, the band continues to push the limits of speed and virtuosity while somehow keeping a sharp focus on hooks. Their music sits on a knife’s edge of “too much,” and just when you think you’ve hit overload, they drop in a soaring melody or a meticulously crafted clean section long enough for you to breathe; before throwing you back into a rap-flow vocal assault or some of the fastest drumming you’ll ever hear.
In 2025, ARCHSPIRE announced their new drummer, Spencer Moore, marking a shift in the band’s trajectory. New blood brings new influences, and with the first single “Carrion Ladder,” they intend to show exactly how quickly he proved himself.
“I had to step my game up fast to pull off the new material,” Spencer explains. “But once we started tracking, everything felt comfortable and natural.”
Recorded in 2025, the album reunites the band with world-renowned producer Dave Otero (Cattle Decapitation, Khemmis) for the third time. They locked themselves inside his Denver studio for several months, cutting out distractions and dedicating themselves entirely to the record.
‘TOO FAST TO DIE’ follows the critically acclaimed Juno Award winning ‘Bleed the Future,’ and marks the band’s first fully independent release. Early in the writing process they chose to crowdfund the album, a strategy they’d used before; but nothing prepared them for the scale of what came next.
They raised nearly $400,000 CAD in 30 days, blowing past their goal in under 24 hours and confirming that independence was the right move.
“I was actually shaking when I pressed launch,” says guitarist Dean Lamb. “We’d never taken on something this big, and all I could think was, ‘man, I hope we don’t mess this up.’”
‘TOO FAST TO DIE’ is set for release on April 10, 2026, and represents a new chapter for ARCHSPIRE. Now fully independent and armed with a revitalized lineup, they’re intent on expanding their already rabid fanbase, pushing the boundaries of extreme metal, and having a great time doing it.
Oliver adds:
“Santa Claus is coming… early… directly down the chimney with a fat sack full of pre-order bundles for our 5th and most insane album yet! After going through more drummers than toilet paper at a chili eating contest, we are finally able to announce the release of ‘TOO FAST TO DIE.’ This is the first record we’ve ever produced as a fully independent band. We want to send out a ton of big sloppy joe kisses to everyone who believed in us and supported our Independence Day Kickstarter campaign! It’s because of your tech support that this album can finally reach people’s ears. We hope you all love it as much as we do!”
