Europe’s leading horror punk institution THE OTHER return with a brand-new single, “Vincent Price – Master Of Menace”, taken from the original soundtrack of the international documentary The Vincent Price Legacy.

The two-hour documentary – co-produced by daugher Victoria Price – covers the life and work of Hollywood legend Vincent Price and features interviews with colleagues such as Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, John Landis, Joe Dante, and David Dastmalchian. The documentary will be shown at film festivals worldwide before being released for home entertainment by Wicked Vision.

The track appears in two versions – OST Version and Heavy Version – as 7″ in a bundle with their new album Alienated in the band’s web shop. The “Heavy Version” is only available on this 7” while the “Original Soundtrack Version” will also be released digitally on December 12, 2026 on all streaming platforms.

True to THE OTHER’s unmistakable style, the song is a catchy, theatrical tribute to one of horror cinema’s most iconic figures, blending dark punk energy with cinematic tension.

With “Vincent Price – Master Of Menace”, THE OTHER open yet another chapter in their long-running love letter to horror culture – this time honoring the legendary master of the macabre himself. Singer Rod Usher adds a few personal thoughts: “We’ve written a few songs about the movies of Vincent Price. ‘The Last Man On Earth’ appeared on our second album, as did ‘The Ghost Of Hollywood’ – a song about Price, Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff and other horror legends. Another Price-themed song – ‘The Murder in the House of Wax’ – is a track on our third album. Sadly we did not film a video for the new soundtrack song that is now coming out. We had some ideas but anything we would have filmed would have to live up to Vincent Price’s films. Which is impossible. So we decided not to do it.”

The release follows a major milestone in the band’s career: their new album Alienated entered the German Album Charts at #6, marking one of the strongest chart placements in the band’s history. The record, released via Massacre Records, represents a powerful “back to the roots” return filled with goth-punk anthems, vintage horror vibes, and THE OTHER’s trademark macabre storytelling.

Europe’s most famous horror punk band, THE OTHER, celebrate Halloween 2025 with the release of their brand-new full-length “Alienated”, out now via Massacre Records – accompanied by the haunting new video for “Hier Sein”.

Following the success of the singles “I Give You The Creeps” and “A Ghost From The 80s”, the album marks the band’s return to their darkest roots – merging eerie atmosphere, melodic hooks, and the unmistakable horror energy that made THE OTHER a cult phenomenon.

“Hier Sein”, the band’s new single, continues this tradition. Frontman Rod Usher comments: “‘Hier Sein’ is our traditional German song on each album. This one’s very atmospheric and emotional and its videoclip illustrates this. The clip was filmed in the woods of my childhood home town Leichlingen – which translates into ‘corpse town’. The song ties in lyrically with the album title with its theme of estrangement.” The video takes some inspiration from the movie “Blair Witch Project”.

Produced and recorded by Tim Schulte (Massendefekt, Rogers, Callejon, Stefanie Heinzmann), mixed by Arne Neurand (Subway To Sally, ZSK, Guano Apes, Revolverheld) at Horus Studios, and mastered by Olman V. Wiebe (Kreator, Caliban, Sondaschule), the album delivers raw, powerful energy with a hauntingly cinematic edge.

Frontman Rod Usher describes the record as a “back to the roots” album, merging the immediacy of THE OTHER’s early work with the revitalized creativity brought by the return of founding bassist Andy Only, alongside guitarists J. Ends and Van Tom and drummer Jag Boone.

The album also features the singles “I Give You The Creeps” and “A Ghost From The 80s”, as well as brand-new fan favorites such as “Hellfire”, “The Witch From Outer Space”, and “Die Human Die”.

“Ghost From The 80s” is the lead single from THE OTHER’s long-awaited new album “Alienated” – and is fittingly released just in time for Halloween 2025. Europe’s most famous horror punk band delivers the perfect soundtrack for the spooky season already now at the end of September: a catchy tune that no Halloween playlist should be without.

The track combines an extraordinary wave-inspired atmosphere with the band’s signature dark, driving sound – enhanced by unmistakable 80s-style keyboards that fans of the era will immediately embrace.

Singer Rod Usher explains: “The song is inspired by the teen horror classics of the time – Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Beetlejuice, Fright Night, House – and tells the story of a ghost that haunts an old VCR from a flea market and catapults its owner back to the 1980s. Of course, we had to use appropriate keyboards in the chorus – they would have suited bands like Europe or Journey well.”

Cool, campy, and with a hookline to die for, “Ghost From The 80s” is the perfect anthem for the spookiest and most beautiful time of the year.

The accompanying video (directed by Mirko Witzki – Emil Bulls, Caliban, Nachtblut) features comedy writer, podcaster, actor, and musician Jan C. Müller, who stumbles as a haunted hero straight into a wild, colorful 80s party – led, of course, by head ghost Rod Usher and his eerily charming troupe. But who knows: maybe it was all just a nightmare?

“Alienated”, set for release on October 31st, 2025 via Massacre Records, marks THE OTHER’s first album since the chart success “Haunted” (2020). Probably the band’s darkest record to date, it also represents a triumphant return to their classic horror punk sound.

Europe’s biggest horror punk band THE OTHER are back with their long-awaited new studio album “Alienated”, set for release on October 31st, 2025 via Massacre Records – just in time for Halloween.
 
Following their 2020 chart success “Haunted”, “Alienated” marks a triumphant return to the band’s darker, punk-driven roots.
 
Produced by Tim Schulte (Massendefekt, Rogers, Callejon, Stefanie Heinzmann), mixed by Arne Neurand (Guano Apes, Subway To Sally, ZSK) at Horus Studios, and mastered by Olman V. Wiebe (Kreator, Caliban, Sondaschule), the album delivers a raw yet powerful sound that captures both classic horror punk energy and modern intensity.

The first single, “I Give You the Creeps”, is a perfect introduction to the album’s direction: fast-paced punk verses, a massive sing-along chorus, and vampire-themed lyrics that will instantly resonate with fans. Directed by guitarist J. Ends, the accompanying music video perfectly channels the band’s gothic-horror aesthetics and live energy.

Frontman Rod Usher describes “Alienated” as a “back to the roots” album that merges the immediacy of their early work with fresh ideas born from the band’s revitalized lineup. The return of founding bassist Andy Only, alongside guitarists J. Ends and Van Tom and drummer Jag Boone, has injected new energy and creative firepower into the band.
 
Thematically, the album revolves around feelings of estrangement and darkness – from the existential weight of “Alienated” and “Die Human Die”, to campy horror tributes like “The Witch From Outer Space” and “Horror Movie Monster”.
 
With 13 tracks of haunting anthems, sinister sing-alongs, and horror-soaked storytelling, “Alienated” might just be THE OTHER’s darkest and most powerful album to date.
