Dead Tired - Hornets Of Fall (New Orange w/Black Splatter Vinyl)

Hornets of Fall is the fourth full-length studio album by the Hamilton, Ontario-based hardcore punk quintet Dead Tired, fronted by Alexisonfire vocalist George Pettit. Scheduled for release on August 14, 2026, via New Damage Records and Dine Alone Records, the album represents the band's heaviest, most collaborative, and most confident chapter yet.

Recorded and produced by the band's own guitarist Marco Bressette at Deadquarters Studio, the record moves organically through punishing hardcore intensity, noise-rock chaos, breakneck speed, and massive, bruisingly slow riffs. Lyrically, Pettit utilizes the tracks as a vehicle for misanthropic cynicism and social reflection, exploring themes of greed, apathy, and collective self-interest. The album notably features a prominent roster of guest vocalists from the Canadian punk and hardcore community, including members of Cancer Bats, Comeback Kid, and The Flatliners.
