Dead Poet Society - Fission

Fission is the second studio album by American rock band Dead Poet Society, released in January 2024 via Spinefarm.

Dead Poet Society is an American rock band formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 2013 by Jack Underkofler (vocals, guitar), Jack Collins (guitar), Dylan Brenner (bass guitar) and Will Goodroad (drums).

Asked what it is he wants audiences to take away from ‘FISSION’, the second album from Dead Poet Society, lead singer Jack Underkofler offers eight small but powerful words: “We want to leave them with the truth.”

After a decade defining, redefining and perfecting their art, where Dead Poet Society find themselves on the eve of their sophomore release is much clearer. Dead Poet Society are a uniquely captivating group, rock’s next great breakout act, with ‘FISSION’ set to capture the hearts and challenge the minds of fans old and new on the journey ahead.

Following on the heels of their acclaimed debut full-length ‘–!–’ (2021), ‘FISSION’ seeks to unpack the personal journey its creators have been on during that ride to date. ‘FISSION’, as its title hints, is a 13-track study of personal change and the turbulence of growth that, as Underkofler attests, takes “a microscopic and broad look at the events that changed who we are.”

The result is a compelling record of depth and substance, which weaves through the spectrum of anthemic alternative, dark hard rock and progressive indie. ‘FISSION’ is at once comfortingly familiar and disconcertingly alien; raw and analogue. Unexpected turns and deviations reveal themselves often; repeat listens reveal greater secrets yet.

This double album 2LP record set is on silver coloured vinyl at 45 RPM housed in a single pocket sleeve with a printed insert, pressed in Germany via Spinefarm.
