A deluxe edition of the latest studio album from multi-platinum hard rockers Bad Wolves is officially on the way. Originally released back in 2023, this newly expanded version of “Die About It” will be out on September 19th through Better Noise Music. Nine bonus tracks will be included on this edition, including the freshly debuted reworking of “Say It Again“, which now features a guest spot from Finnish alternative rockers The Rasmus.
Bad Wolves‘ founding drummer John Boecklin took the time to address this new alliance, offering:
“This song has always meant a lot to me—I’ve always loved it—but I never expected it to evolve the way it did with The Rasmus. In my opinion, it’s some of the best lyricism on the album, and I’m really glad it’s finally getting the spotlight it deserves. It’s truly some of our best work.”
The Rasmus‘ vocalist Lauri Ylönen chimed in as well, offering:
“This song hit me hard and energized me. It used to be one of my top workout songs before I got to sing on it!”
As for choosing to beef up the album for this deluxe edition, Boecklin stated:
“We’re proud to announce ‘Die About It (Deluxe)‘. It’s fun for us to be able to continue celebrating the ‘Die About It’ album in this way. It gives us a chance to revisit our material with a different perspective and refresh the release that we’re still in love with. There are songs that were written during the album sessions that you never got to hear and some fun reinterpretations of tracks that you’ve already heard. Lots to dig in on here, see you soon Wolfpack!”
Outside of the original track listing of the album, this expanded take will feature the following bonus tracks:
14 – “Hungry For Life” (feat. Daughtry)
15 – “Hanging On To Thunder” (feat. Stand Atlantic)

Meanwhile, vocalist Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz has taken to playing bass with Falling In Reverse, while ex-Bad Wolves vocalist Tommy Vext has teased, he will be, “a part of the craziest comeback story in the industry’s history.”
