It is the band's first studio album without founding guitarist Foster Hudson, who departed from the band in 2023.
Recorded in January 2025, one month after the release of frontman Cameron Winter's debut solo album, Heavy Metal (2024), the album was released to widespread critical acclaim.
Background
Getting Killed was produced alongside Kenny Beats.[2] It was recorded over a ten-day period and has been described as "shambolic in structure but passionately performed", with the band "[balancing] a disarming tenderness with an intensified anger".[3][4] The album's lead single, "Taxes", was released on July 8, 2025. The song's music video has been described as containing "a hallucinatory rush of moshing, screaming, and violence that feels akin to an exorcism".[5]
On June 23, 2025, the band announced a North American headlining tour in support of the album. The tour is scheduled to begin in South Burlington, Vermont on October 10, and conclude in Brooklyn, New York on November 21.[6]
On July 24, Cameron Winter leaked the album's opening track, "Trinidad", via a now-removed link shared on his Instagram page. The song was officially released five days later, on July 29.[citation needed]
According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Getting Killed received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 90 out of 100 from 18 critic scores.[8]
