Luminary Canadian Rock Band Silverstein Announce Momentous Double Album Antibloom / Pink Moon
With the approach of their 25th anniversary, JUNO-nominated Canadian rock band Silverstein (whose sophomore album, Discovering the Waterfront, was recently certified Gold in Canada) took to the deserts of Joshua Tree to challenge themselves in more ways than ever before. The result is the band’s most eclectic and prolific body of work yet: Antibloom / Pink Moon. A double album that draws from across Silverstein’s diverse influences, Antibloom will see its release on February 21st, 2025 via UNFD, with Pink Moon to follow later in the year.
Sam Guaiana (Neck Deep, Holding Absence, Bayside) produced and mixed Antibloom and Pink Moon at Fireside Sound in Joshua Tree, California. The band arrived with 25 demos and chose their 16 favorites. Drummer Paul Koehler suggested splitting the music into two albums and turning 2025 into a year-long celebration. This will allow listeners the space to absorb and connect with the songs, which embrace the band’s storied past and postmodern leanings in equal measure, making for diverse experiences.
The band shares,
“In 2025, we will be celebrating 25 years as a band. For a milestone this large, we felt it deserved the largest campaign of our career. We felt incredibly inspired, and put everything we’ve learned / felt / experienced into this double-album. They say it takes an artist their whole life to write their debut album, but with starting this band so young, it felt like it took 25 years to write Antibloom / Pink Moon – the absolute collection of our musical style and ideas we’ve pioneered over these years“
In addition to announcing Antibloom / Pink Moon, Silverstein has shared their new single and music video “Confession.” A melodic and emotional track about owning up to one’s mistakes, “Confession” serves as a follow-up to the previously released single “Skin & Bones.” The two offer listeners their first glimpse at what Antibloom / Pink Moon has in store.
Vocalist, Shane Told shares,
“I’m so excited to be releasing our new banger “Confession” out into the world. Early on, working through our initial demos, I knew this one had something very special in it. It was fun to craft this one in the studio and perfect it, deciding exactly how to present it with all the different layers of music. I think it’s one of the strongest singles we’ve ever released because, at its core, it’s all about the message, melody, and emotion.“
In 2025, fans around the world are invited to join the band in celebrating their “silver” anniversary with the 25 Years of Noise Tour. Kicking off in North America on January 10th, the first leg will feature support from Thursday and Split Chain – as well as a yet-to-be-announced group who is pioneering the next wave of the rock scene. Following the month-long run, Silverstein will bring the tour to the UK / EU alongside Thursday, The Callous Daoboys, and Bloom. These shows will offer a discography-spanning performance and fans will be able to vote for their favorite songs from each record to help decide the setlist.
