Bay Area punk veterans Rancid are marking three decades of the platinum-certified …And Out Come the Wolves with a sprawling box set, which is up for pre-order now. The package holds two LPs and four seven-inch singles, covering the studio album, a collection of demos and live recordings called Alive, unreleased live material from New York City, out-of-print singles and exclusive memorabilia.

Alive makes its vinyl debut here. It gathers rare demos and live versions of the album’s songs recorded between 1995 and 2016. Two Rancid fans and archivists (@rancidcollector and @rancid_fanatic) helped assemble it, along with material from the band’s own archives. The record features resurfaced demos, cuts from a 1995 BBC session and performances captured in San Francisco, Tokyo, Manchester, Montreal and elsewhere.

The set also includes the previously unreleased Live in NYC, which has “Roots Radical” and “Ruby Soho” recorded in November 1995. Rounding it out are long-out-of-print pressings of “Roots Radical,” “Ruby Soho” and “Timebomb,” which until now have been available only on 2024’s B Sides and C Sides.

…And Out Come the Wolves first came out Aug. 22, 1995, and carried the already established punks to new heights without forcing them to “sell out.” Its Billboard Modern Rock singles “Time Bomb” (No. 8), “Ruby Soho” (No. 13) and “Roots Radical” (No. 27) powered the album to No. 45 on the Billboard 200 and helped kick off the 1990s punk revival. Three decades on, it keeps turning up on “Greatest Punk Albums” lists from outlets such as Rolling Stone, Revolver, Metal Hammer and Loudwire, and is still regarded as one of the genre’s most influential records.

Rancid came out of Berkeley, Calif., and has been a working punk band for more than 25 years. After the breakup of their beloved first band, Operation Ivy, in 1991, founding members Tim Armstrong (vocals, guitar) and Matt Freeman (bass, vocals) set out to build something even better. That became Rancid. The band signed with Epitaph Records and released its self-titled debut, Rancid, in 1993.

Lars Frederiksen (vocals, guitar) joined soon after, since nobody was about to argue with him, and Let’s Go followed in 1994. Then came the platinum-selling …And Out Come the Wolves in 1995, an album you probably remember hearing for the first time. Life Won’t Wait arrived in 1998, and in 2000 Rancid put out a second album titled Rancid, apparently to check whether anyone was paying attention.

Drummer Branden Steineckert came aboard after Indestructible in 2003, completing the current lineup. The band has since released Let the Dominos Fall (2009), Honor Is All We Know (2014) and Tomorrow Never Comes (2023).

Throughout, Rancid has stayed fiercely independent and loyal to its community and to each other. The songs take on political and social issues while mixing in personal stories of love, loss and heartbreak, all delivered with attitude. The band offers its listeners a place where everyone belongs, and by carrying on the spirit of the original punk bands, it has become a legend and an inspiration to the punk bands that followed.

…And Out Come the Wolves (30th Anniversary Edition) is available to pre-order here.

Lift the veil, see what I’ve become
An exoskeletal pantheon
Born again from bone and breath
To spread the living gospel of death 

On Tears for the Dying‘s blistering new gothic track Devour Me, Adria Stembridge drags the band back toward its earlier roots with a slower, heavier gait, then breaks that crawl apart with abrupt tempo changes that make the song feel unstable beneath your feet.

Stembridge handles drum machine, guitar, bass, and vocals, building the track from dark guitar figures, blunt low-end pressure, and drums that move with the patience of something following you home. Her vocals hang above it all in a cold echo, less concerned with theatrical grandstanding than with letting the words rot in the air for a second before the next image lands. You can hear Bauhaus in the skeletal guitar work, Alien Sex Fiend in the queasy theatricality, and PiL and Fields of the Nephilim in the sense that somebody has wandered far enough from civilization to start inventing a religion.

That religious impulse becomes central once the lyrics start opening the trapdoor. Stembridge draws from cosmic horror, but the terror here feels brutally physical. A solitary figure encounters an impossible swarm, loses control of the body piece by piece, and becomes host to something that treats flesh as raw material. Bones break. Insects burrow. The victim survives only in the technical sense, gradually becoming an alien deity whose transformation has erased whatever person existed before.

The nastiest idea arrives afterward: worship. What begins as predation becomes conversion, and the ruined body becomes scripture. Consumption, reproduction, faith, and extermination collapse together until divinity itself starts looking like another parasitic infection. There is something wonderfully foul about that conception of godhood, especially coming from a band whose Southern gothic deathrock has long carried radical queer politics alongside its horror imagery. Authority here comes crawling out of meat.

The slower passages give those images room to breathe before the faster sections shove everything toward panic. That contrast is crucial. Speed alone would turn the song into pursuit; the deliberate sections make you wait for whatever is chewing through the floorboards. By the final transformation, cosmic horror has lost every trace of abstraction. Infinity sprouts mandibles, theology breeds larvae, and salvation becomes a forced rebirth inside a body that has been converted into temple, nursery, and weapon.

Northern California extreme metal outfit All Shall Perish has put out an official lyric video for “Led to Slaughter,” the band’s second new song in 15 years. Like “Be as Kings, Be as Gods,” which dropped last month, it was produced by Zack Ohren (Machine Head, Fallujah) and released through Arson Theory, the music company co-founded by frontman Hernan “Eddie” Hermida.

The video pulls footage from The Price of Existence 20 Year Anniversary tour, which kicked off Sept. 4 in Fresno, Calif., and wraps Oct. 3 in San Jose, Calif. The run marks two decades since All Shall Perish released its second album, The Price of Existence, through Nuclear Blast in 2006. It was the first record to feature Hermida and lead guitarist Chris Storey.

The single arrives after All Shall Perish hit its $75,000 goal on Kickstarter, money meant to cover the band’s first album since 2011. The band plans to make the record on its own, and says it currently has no label or manager.

All Shall Perish says the Kickstarter funds will be divided as follows:

Finish recording: $30,000 (40%)
Videos: $18,000 (24%)
Promotion: $8,250 (11%)
Contingency: $7,000 (9%)
Mastering: $5,000 (7%)
Platform fees: $6,750 (9%)
Total goal: $75,000 (100%)

The current touring lineup features Hermida, guitarists Storey and Ben Orum, bassist Adrian Oropeza and drummer Andrew Baird.

The road to this point had some bumps. In October 2013, Mike Tiner, then the band’s bassist, told Metal Injection that All Shall Perish had little choice but to part ways with Hermida after the singer took over for the late Mitch Lucker in Suicide Silence.

By October 2015, the band had announced the return of Hermida and Storey, joined by founding members Matthew Kuykendall, Caysen Russo and Orum. The press release said original vocalist Craig Betit would take part in some capacity. The group added that Tiner turned down a personal invitation to participate.
