Background and singles
[edit]On September 23, 2024, it was announced that drummer Spencer Prewett had departed Archspire, and the band started an online audition contest, seeking a replacement.[1] The search was finalized with the announcement that Spencer Moore was joining the band on May 27, 2025, while also teasing a new record set for release later that year.[2]
On May 29, 2025, Archspire announced that they planned to release their next album independently, citing record labels typically getting 80-85% of royalties over bands. They launched a Kickstarter campaign seeking $125,000 to fund the record, breaking down the exact details of what they had already spent money on and what they planned to fund.[3] On December 9, 2025, the band announced their fifth album, Too Fast to Die, set to be released on April 10, 2026. A music video from the album's lead single, "Carrion Ladder", was also released.[4] On January 13, 2026, Archspire released the second single "Limb of Leviticus".[5][6] On March 6, 2026, they released the third single "Red Goliath".[7][8] On April 3, 2026, they released the fourth single "The Vessel".[9]
