Product Details
Recorded during a relentless touring cycle that pushed the Dublin five-piece to their limits, A Hero's Death marked a deliberate turn inward, trading the debut's streetwise urgency for something slower, stranger, and more psychologically fraught. Grian Chatten's vocals sit further back in the mix, almost submerged, which only makes the existential weight of lines like "life ain't always empty" land harder. It's a band refusing to repeat themselves at the exact moment the industry was betting they would.
12" Vinyl Standard jacket with printed inner sleeve
Barely a year after the release of their acclaimed debut album 'Dogrel' (which charted Top 10 in the UK, earned a Mercury Prize nomination, Fallon performance, and #1 Album of the Year positions for BBC 6Music and Rough Trade), Fontaines DC have returned with an intensely confident, patient, and complex sophomore album. 'A Hero's Death' arrives battered and bruised, albeit beautiful - a heady and philosophical take on the modern world, and its great uncertainty.
