ARCHSPIRE reveals upcoming album ‘TOO FAST TO DIE’
ARCHSPIRE are set to release their new album, ‘TOO FAST TO DIE,’ on April 10, 2026, featuring their lead single “Carrion Ladder.” The band, known as the world’s fastest, has been working hard on this album, and “Carrion Ladder” marks the beginning of what fans can expect from the upcoming record. The band’s vocalist, Oliver Rae Aleron, humorously mentions the challenges they faced in the past four years and their excitement to present the new music video to their fans.
Established in 2009, ARCHSPIRE has always been driven by the desire to create extreme music. With ‘TOO FAST TO DIE,’ they continue to push the boundaries of speed and technical proficiency while ensuring their music remains hook-filled and engaging. Vocalist Oliver Rae Aleron describes their live performances as a unique experience where audiences struggle to comprehend the intensity of their music.
With five albums in their catalog, ARCHSPIRE maintains their reputation for unparalleled speed and virtuosity. The band’s music borders on the extreme, featuring moments of overwhelming intensity followed by soothing melodies or clean sections before plunging back into rap-style vocals and blisteringly fast drumming.
In 2025, ARCHSPIRE welcomed a new drummer, Spencer Moore, whose influence on their sound is evident in “Carrion Ladder.” Moore’s adaptability and skill quickly integrated him into the band, allowing the members to craft a record that they are proud of. Produced by Dave Otero, who previously worked with notable bands like Cattle Decapitation and Khemmis, ‘TOO FAST TO DIE’ marks ARCHSPIRE’s first independent release following their crowd-funded campaign.
Choosing to crowdfund their album, ARCHSPIRE exceeded expectations, raising nearly $400,000 CAD in just 30 days. Guitarist Dean Lamb reflects on the nerves he felt when launching the campaign, but the overwhelming support from fans reaffirmed their decision to pursue independence. ‘TOO FAST TO DIE’ showcases the band’s evolution, emphasizing their commitment to extreme metal while expanding their reach to a wider audience.
Throughout the writing and recording process, ARCHSPIRE remained dedicated to creating a record that would exceed expectations. The upcoming release on April 10 shows the band’s renewed energy and enthusiasm for producing music as a fully independent unit. Fans can anticipate a fresh and innovative approach to extreme metal that delivers on ARCHSPIRE’s promise of a mind-blowing experience with each track on ‘TOO FAST TO DIE.’
