Politically active rap metalcore group Stray From The Path surprise released their new album “Clockworked” this morning, May 30h. The arrival of this record wasn’t much of a surprise for fans dialed into to recent developments however, as the group snuck some copies out to the public last weekend. What is surprising however is the announcement that this record will be the band’s last.
In a joint statement just issued, the band outlined their plans to call it quits:
“We are excited and grateful to announce our final album ‘Clockworked‘ is out now. Available in record stores today, shipping immediately from web stores and streaming in its entirety on all platforms.
The four of us, Anthony, Craig, Drew and Tom, have been touring together as a unit for almost 10 years, and now it feels like the right time to put the band to rest. We’ve gone on to make amazing records together, tour the world, and have been fortunate to gain the support of people, more than we could have asked for. We get to go out on our own accord, on a final record and do some final tours celebrating the band one last time with the people who gave us a great career. Listen to ‘Clockworked‘ and keep your eyes peeled for further touring announcements.
This is a mutual decision — there’s no bad blood, we love each other, and we love you all. In the next couple weeks, we will be announcing our final tour dates, and after 2025, we will be putting the band to rest. Looking forward to celebrating the band one last time together for the rest of 2025.”
GRAMMY Award-winning producer Will Putney (Knocked Loose, Body Count) oversaw this new full-length, which boasts a pair of guest appearances, including Poison The Well frontman Jeffrey Moreira on “Bodies In The Dark“, and LANDMVRKS singer Florent Salfati on the title track.
