ANBERLIN:
For more than twodecades, Anberlin have remained a formidable force in thealt-rock world, boasting a wildly devoted fanbase who’ve come to rely on the rawcathartic power of their music. On the massively anticipated Vega—the first album in ten years from vocalistStephen Christian, guitarists Joseph Milligan and Christian McAlhaney, bassistDeon Rexroat, and drummer Nathan Young—the Florida-bred band deliver a body ofwork forged with an explosive new energy, thanks in part to the addition of singerMatty Mullins (the Memphis May Fire frontman who’s stepped in as live vocalistfor Anberlin, following Christian’s announcement thathe’ll no longer tour full-time). The latest triumph in an extraordinary careerthat’s included selling over 1.5 million albums in the U.S. alone and turningout hits like the No. 1 Alternative Radio smash “Feel Good Drag,” Vega reveals a band whose creativepassion and one-of-a-kind vision have only grown stronger over time.
Arriving on the heels of two back-to-backEPs—2022’s Silverline and 2023’s Convinced—Vega emerged from a period of unbridled creativity for Anberlin,who parted ways soon after 2014’s Lowbornand reunited for a series of lockdown-era livestreams. In bringing their newalbum to life, the band embraced a deliberately free-flowing and DIY approach, buildingup songs in McAlhaney’s garage before self-producing the LP at Tampa’s FeralSound Studios. “In the past we’d sometimes limit our sound to some preconceivedidea of what Anberlin is supposed to be,” says McAlhaney. “Thistime the mantra was, ‘If it feels good, let’s try it.’ Because at the end ofthe day, Anberlin is whatever we say it is.” As a result, Vega encompasses everything from the shout-along-ready popperfection of “Walk Alone” to the brutally heavy intensity of “Seven” (a shapeshiftingand strangely enthralling epic featuring a savage vocal performance from Mullins). “Ithink after spending time apart we came back with a new perspective, where wewere all just excited to work together and create the best songs we can,” saysYoung. “No one was precious about their ideas; it was all about making somethingthat feels new and risky and like nothing we’ve ever done before.”
As they get set to embark on the 20 Yearsof Tears amphitheater tour with Thursday, Hawthorne Heights, and Saosin—a56-date run that marks their most extensive tour in a decade—Anberlin lookforward to the pure thrill of performing their new material for their longtimelegion of fans. “We’ve had so many people tell us things like, ‘Your songs gotme through a really difficult time in my life,’ or ‘You guys are what made mepick up a guitar and start my own band,’” says Rexroat. “It’s an incrediblefeeling to know that we’ve impacted other people on that level—the amount oflove we’ve felt is undeniable, and it’s one of the main reasons we’ve keptgoing for as long we have.”
