“Guinea Pigs”, the brand-new single by Italian alternative metal band KLOGR, is available now in all digital platforms. Originally released in 2013, the track quickly became one of the band’s signature songs – often chosen to close their live sets thanks to its powerful message and raw energy. Now, more than a decade later, the song returns in a completely reimagined version, reflecting the band’s new sonic identity and artistic evolution.
At the time of its original release, “Guinea Pigs” made headlines for its unflinching music video, which featured graphic and real-life footage in collaboration with Sea Shepherd, the global marine conservation organization. The visuals aimed to expose the brutal realities of overfishing, the senseless slaughter of whales and sharks, and the reckless exploitation of marine ecosystems – all done for profit rather than survival. Frontman and founder Rusty reflects on the track’s relevance today: “Ten years on, sadly not much has changed. While some progress has been made, we’re still far from a widespread awareness. This isn’t just about what people choose to eat – it’s about the extinction of species that are vital to our planet’s ecological balance”.
The 2025 video takes a different, more introspective direction. It features the band performing the song, interspersed with subtle visual cues that reinforce their long-standing support for environmental causes and their connection with organizations working to protect the Earth.

The new track is part of “REBORN”, a double album featuring 15 songs from across the band’s discography, completely re-recorded and rearranged with a modern twist out on October 31th. This is neither a simple compilation nor a remaster, but a true musical rebirth that fully represents the new sonic direction the band has embraced in recent years. “Why Reborn? Because when you’ve felt dead inside for too long and you get the chance to feel alive again, you can’t ignore it” says Rusty “After years of inner drought, something finally shifted. I emerged from a draining phase and felt the urge to breathe new life into a project that has saved me more than once. I wanted to honor everyone who has been part of KLOGR through the years, and the best way to do that was to give new dignity to songs that, at the time of their original release, still carried the weight of my musical immaturity. Reborn is my way of making peace with the past – acknowledging its value through the lens of 15 years of experience”.
The new album will be available in double vinyl limited edition, cd and digital, pre-order available at this LINK.
In November KLOGR will be part of an extensive EU/UK Tour with Katatonia and Evergrey: “There couldn’t be a better time to be clear with ourselves, with our audience, and to prove that this time, we mean business”.
