DES ROCS has shared details of their upcoming full-length, and it’s set to be a leather-clad rock-and-roll rager.

It’s titled ‘To Hell And Back’ and will be released on June 12 via Sumerian Records. It serves as the follow-up to 2023’s ‘Dream Machine’.

Mastermind Danny Rocco had this to say about what the record represents for him:

“This record is about anyone who’s ever been knocked down and gotten back up. It’s for the people who keep goin’, even when it feels like the world’s against them. To Hell and Back is for the fighters, the dreamers and the survivors. This record is the culmination of everything I’ve ever done. It’s all those years of struggle wrapped up into one sonic battle cry. None of this music would’ve been possible without riding the roller coaster of tryin’ to make it in a band outta NYC.”

The artwork looks like this:

Whilst the tracklisting is more like this:

1. When The Love Is Gone
2. Fall Together
3. Sing Me Back To Sleep
4. The More She Wants
5. The Riders Of Red Hook (Legends Never Die)
6. The King
7. This Land
8. War
9. The Juice
10. Supernaturalize
11. The Way

As well as being able to hear opening banger ‘When The Love Is Gone’, you can also check out the newly released ‘Fall Together’. A dramatic, building piece of orchestral genius, akin to the atmosphere Led Zeppelin created with ‘Kashmir’, it shows off the density and the different directions Danny is daring to go with this outing. Nothing is too grand.

Danny had this to add:

“Sometimes you find yourself stuck in a place where no matter what you do, you’re gonna lose. This song’s about that dead-end feeling, when both roads lead to the same place. Nothing good. It’s a heavy one, but it’s a real part of the story of this album. I hope this song can help those navigating those tough roads we have to travel in this thing called life.”

You’ll be able to experience the record live and direct when DES ROCS hits the road around Europe later this year.
