Massachusetts punk band OH THE HUMANITY! has just released a new single, “Gutted,” the first taste of their upcoming album Ground to Dust, set to drop in January 2025. Known for their intense, high-energy sound that blends shredding metal riffs with punk’s singalong spirit, OH THE HUMANITY! has made a name in the punk scene since 2012 with a style that draws from influences like A Wilhelm Scream and Propagandhi.
The new single, “Gutted,” captures the themes of self-doubt, self-growth, and the struggle to forgive oneself—subjects that have long defined OH THE HUMANITY!’s lyrical approach. The track packs a punch with driving drums, ripping guitars, and powerful, heartfelt lyrics that convey a feeling of melancholy but are filled with energy and intensity. It’s a fitting opener for the album, which promises to build on these themes with a mix of fast-paced, technically skillful punk and emotionally charged storytelling.
Ground to Dust, the band’s third full-length album, was recorded by Trevor Reilly of A Wilhelm Scream at Anchor End Studio in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Set for release through Sell the Heart Records in the U.S., Thousand Islands Records in Canada, and Engineer Records in the UK, the album features ten tracks that showcase OH THE HUMANITY!’s signature melodic and technical punk style. The band has developed a reputation for electrifying live performances, and they’ll bring that same energy to their upcoming tour in 2025 to support the new album.
For over a decade, OH THE HUMANITY! has rocked stages at respected punk festivals like The Fest, Camp Punksylvania, and Pouzza Fest, and they’ve toured everywhere from backyard shows to DIY venues across the U.S., Canada, and the UK. The band—consisting of members Kevin Athas, Jimmy Silvio, Kyle Paradis, Chris Dileso, and Chris Santoro—is known not only for their intense music but also for their laid-back personalities and love of hanging out with fans. Expect an unforgettable experience when they bring Ground to Dust to a venue near you.
“Gutted” captures OH THE HUMANITY!'s raw energy with driving riffs and intense, relatable lyrics that hit hard. Check out “Gutted” now on streaming platforms, and keep an eye out for Ground to Dust in early 2025.
