- Cage the Elephant previewed Dying in Reverse with "Make It Easy," a mid-tempo rock number the band also performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
- Dying in Reverse arrives Feb. 5, 2027 as a 12-track set running from "Influence" and "Make It Easy" through "Cherry Cola," "Crossfaded" and "Wear The Daylight."
- Justin Raisen and SADPONY produced the album, which a press release describes as embracing "experimentation, spontaneity, and the chemistry of working through ideas together in the room."
- Matthew Shultz called Dying in Reverse one of the band's most creatively gratifying group efforts, describing it as "a goodbye to the past" and "a rebirth of sorts" that pulled them closer together.
- Neon Pill, the band's previous album, arrived in 2024, making Dying in Reverse their first full-length since then; earlier previews included the title track and "Beaches In Tennessee."
- Cage the Elephant will headline the halftime show at the 2026 NFL Munich Game on Nov. 15, where the New England Patriots take on the Detroit Lions.
- Berlin opens the band's tour on Feb. 8, 2027 — three days after the album's release — as part of an extensive schedule planned for next year.
Why it matters: The Feb. 5, 2027 release lands three days before the band's Berlin tour opener on Feb. 8, so 12 tracks arrive at the start of their next-year run. The Nov. 15 NFL Munich Game halftime slot puts Cage the Elephant in front of the New England Patriots–Detroit Lions crowd, outside the band's usual touring base.
