Southern-Californian rockers OF MICE & MEN have made a much anticipated announcement that they will be releasing a new album, Defy, on January 19 via Rise Records. Along with the album announcement, OF MICE & MEN have debuted a music video for their single “Warzone”, directed by Michael Colasardo and Luke DeLong. Defy will be the band’s first album without vocalist Austin Carlile. Watch the video below.
Commented the band: “We are proud to announce our new album DEFY, out January 19th! You can pre-order/pre-save it now at all the usual outlets as well as checking out our brand new single, Warzone!”

OF MICE & MEN have released “Unbreakable”, a short film that brings fans onstage and behind the scenes for a unique look at life on the road with a touring rock band. Watch below. Directed by Johann Ramos, the documentary follows OM&M (bassist/vocalist Aaron Pauley, drummer Valentino Arteaga and guitarists Phil Manansala and Alan Ashby) across multiple continents for a series of electrifying performances captured earlier this year.
The band, who are currently on the road with In This Moment (click HERE for dates), are also putting the finishing touches on their new album, which was recorded with Grammy-nominated producer Howard Benson (Sepultura, My Chemical Romance) in Los Angeles. They recently invited Alternative Press into the studio for a sneak peek at the record, playing them new songs “Warzone” and “How Will You Live.”
“The whole energy of the record is very centered around our live shows,” Pauley told AP. “Our past records were made after extended breaks, so it’s hard to remember that live connection. But we’ve played so many shows over the summer that it bled into the music we made. We’re all very well connected on this record.”
The album follows two new songs, “Unbreakable” and “Back To Me,” which were released earlier this year and have racked up close to 20 million combined streams to date. The band maintained momentum by delivering a string of electrifying, show-stealing performances at some of the world’s biggest rock festivals, including Las Rageous, Fort Rock Festival, Welcome To Rockville, Carolina Rebellion, Northern Invasion, Rock on the Range, Download Festival, In.Fest and Nova Rock Festival, to name but a few.
Anticipation is running high for the yet-to-be-revealed new album, which follows Cold World.
OF MICE & MEN have hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Rock and Independent Charts and No. 4 on the genre-spanning Top 200. They’ve racked up over 153 million Spotify streams, 20 million YouTube views and close to 5 million social media followers. They’ve shared stages with artists such as Metallica, Linkin Park and Queens of the Stone Age and not only held their own, but won over new fans in the process. They’ve played hundreds of shows for packed-house-crowds around the world, released three studio albums to critical acclaim, and recorded tracks that have blanketed rock radio airwaves. Their sound has broken through obstacles of language, distance and culture. For most bands, such achievements usually mark the summation of a long career– if they’re lucky. But OF MICE & MEN have accomplished all that and more over the course of a mere five years. And while those feats make for one helluva resume, what makes this band really matter is that they’ve never stopped pushing themselves to go further.
OF MICE & MEN have released “Pain”, the blistering first track and video from their much-anticipated new album “Cold World” – watch it below.
The video was directed by Mark Lediard at J6 Films.
“Cold World” is set for a September 9th release on Rise Records. Fans can get “Pain” as an instant download by clicking HEREto pre-order the album.
The full track listing for COLD WORLD is:
1. Game of War
2. The Lie

6. –
7. Pain
8. The Hunger

10. Down The Road

OF MICE & MEN (vocalist Austin Carlile, guitarist Alan Ashby, drummer Valentino Arteaga, vocalist/bassist Aaron Pauley and guitarist Phil Manansala) recorded COLD WORLD with producer David Bendeth, who they worked with on 2014’s Restoring Force, which hit No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and No. 1 on both the Billboard Top Independent and Top Rock Albums Charts.

Southern Californian metal quintet OF MICE & MEN have built up a huge following worldwide throughout the last few years and have recently released their third album “Restoring Force.”
I caught up with the whole band at last week’s Metal Hammer Golden Gods awards, where they had just picked up the Golden God for ‘Breakthrough Artist.’
As with other interviews from the evening, there was not much space, so the recording is an extreme close-up, capturing the band’s thoughts on their award, also with a small appearance from Dimebag Darrell ‘Shredder’ award winner Misha Mansoor from PERIPHERY. Check out the chat below:
