The next chapter in the post-hardcore group’s career will be titled No Devolución, and is set for an April 12, 2011 release date on Epitaph Records. According to an exclusive with Spin, the album will be the band’s “more experimental effort to date, but listeners can judge for themselves by giving the album’s lead single, “Magnets Caught In A Metal Heart,” a listen. Frontman Geoff Rickly comments on the band’s direction:
“That record, for all the things I love about it, became way more aggressive and claustrophobic and dark than we meant it to be,” the singer says. “As soon as we did that, we longed for something that was its antithesis. We were always tempering our desire to make something that was more graceful, more sweeping, and this record was the first one where we said, ‘You know what? Who cares? Let’s say our career is over tomorrow, who fucking cares? Let’s make something beautiful.’”
Give the track a listen here. Album art can be found below.

Off With Their Heads recently sat down for an interview with Review Rinse Repeat. One topic that the band explored quite deeply was their relationship with Epitaph Records. Of note, the band comments on their communication with Brett Gurewitz (Bad Religion, Epitaph Owner):
“When an opportunity like that knocks, you usually don’t turn it down. And then we met [Brett] at his house, he had us over for lunch, and he sat there and he’s like, “Look, I know you don’t like a lot of music I’ve put out recently…”, and we all just started laughing, “Okay good, so we can have this conversation!”. He went through his spiel about that, and how likes the band, he said he didn’t expect us to sell tons of records or anything, but he wants to get back to things that he likes. It took about 10 months for us finally to be like, “Ok, cool, we’ll do this.”
