Dead Poet Society Premiere New Single & Music Video "Cold" From Upcoming New Album "Monarch"

Alt rock band Dead Poet Society have announced their third studio album, “Monarch.” Alongside the announcement comes the release of the album's third single, “Cold,” accompanied by a music video co-directed by the band's vocalist/guitarist Jack Underkofler and Blackwolf Imaging.

Drummer Will Goodroad said of the track:

“People today are constantly performing for one another, competing for a place in social hierarchy. We slowly reshape ourselves, cutting away parts of who we are to gain acceptance and validation. Over time, we lose touch with our passions, forget why we do what we do, and stop recognizing who we really are – or what we truly believe, if anything at all. ‘Cold’ is about recognizing that reality and choosing to indulge in it anyway.”

Recording sessions for “Monarch” were helmed by Mutemath frontman Paul Meany, while GRAMMY Award-winner Adam Hawkins (Turnstile, YUNGBLUD) handled mixing duties. Underkofler explained what the band aimed to accomplish with the new album:

“We wanted to carve out our own piece of territory. I just wanted to swing for the fences with this one. All the things I felt made us, I wanted to see how much deeper I could go with them and try to boil down the essence of the feeling that makes Dead Poet Society who we are.”

To expand the album experience, the band have also launched an interactive website, The House, where fans can uncover clues and hidden details. Visitors have already discovered a phone number featured on merchandise available through the band's online store.

“Monarch” will be released on October 2nd via Spinefarm and features the following track listing:

01 – “Hollywood On Fire“
02 – “Roach“
03 – “Die If You Don’t“
04 – “Sinner Systems“
