Архив новостей | Русская версия
UK alt-rock trailblazers DON BROCO have unleashed their audacious new album "Nightmare Tripping" out today via Fearless Records. Known for their genre-defying sound, the band pushes boundaries with this release, crafted alongside longtime collaborator and renowned producer Dan Lancaster.
DON BROCO have always defied categorization. Effortlessly merging metal, post-hardcore, funk, and electronica, they create a sound distinctly their own. With Nightmare Tripping, they dive into their heaviest and most nuanced work yet, embracing unexpected musical turns and deeper thematic explorations.
"Nightmare Tripping" features electrifying collaborations, including the previously released title track with Nickelback's Chad Kroeger and Ryan Peake, which fans hailed as "the collab of the century" and VICE raved as a “collision of riffs, grooves, and a couple of killer breakdowns.”
With the release of their album, DON BROCO unveils the powerhouse collaboration "True Believers" featuring Sam Carter of Architects. The song delivers a high-octane punch, with Carter’s signature screams complementing Rob Damiani’s versatile vocals, ranging from gentle to raw intensity. Inspired by the alarming rise of far-right nationalism and societal brainwashing, the track explores challenging themes while balancing explosive energy with a melodic bridge, culminating in a crushing breakdown.

“We started writing this song back in 2024 during the Southport Riots. At the same time the Olympics were on, and flicking between them and the news was an alarming contrast between celebratory British patriotism and violent English nationalism. Over the last few years it’s been impossible to avoid the rise of the far-right across Europe and the United States, seeing politicians and people on the streets alike using the Nazi salute freely without consequence, and genocide apologist’s ideas embraced in the mainstream media. This song is about the brainwashing that’s led to this, to question what we’ve been brought up believing and the narratives that have been reinforced for generations,” shares Damiani.
Adding, “As soon as the initial ideas were fleshed out I wanted Sam on this track. We’ve been fans of Architects for a long time and the energy and aggression he brings to his vocals are unmatched. As a human being of planet earth he’s used his talents again and again to stand up for what’s right so to collaborate on this song with him was very special.”
The journey through "Nightmare Tripping" unfolded like an epic adventure, first single "Cellophane" brought sharp-edged nu-metal swagger, and "Disappear" revealed raw emotional nerve. Meanwhile, "Euphoria" captivated with electronic grooves and a massive, euphoric chorus. Each song charted an exciting course toward the album's release, highlighting the band’s fearless experimentation and commitment to reinvention.
“For us, "Nightmare Tripping" is an album coming to terms with a new understanding of how to navigate the world. It’s about lifting the veil and accepting that life can sometimes feel like waking up from one nightmare straight into the next, and finding a way to be ok with that,” share the band.
As the dust settles on the second leg of their electrifying U.S. tour, DON BROCO are gearing up to set the stage ablaze once more. Starting with a string of album release shows and events the band announced will be happening this week throughout the UK. Additionally, this summer, they'll join forces with Biffy Clyro in London, promising an unforgettable performance at Finsbury Park. With major festivals on the horizon, like ROCK IM RING and Rock For People, and more dates to come, fans across the globe will get to experience Nightmare Tripping as intended, as an exhilarating live show.

DON BROCO are a band that constantly defy categorization. Since forming in 2008, the British act—vocalist Rob Damiani, guitarist Simon Delaney, drummer/vocalist Matt Donnelly, and bassist Tom Doyle—have been creating innovative music that effortlessly merges elements of metal, post-hardcore, and electronica, into a unique amalgam of music all their own. “I love being surprised and I love music taking turns that you wouldn’t expect,” Damiani explains. Correspondingly, the band’s Fearless Records debut Nightmare Tripping is the heaviest and most nuanced album of their career. The album also features some star-studded collaborations from the legendary rock act Nickelback (“Nightmare Tripping”) as well as Architects’ vocalist Sam Carter (“True Believers”). DON BROCO have already sold out venues like Wembley Arena and Alexandra Palace in the UK; performed to frenzied crowds at Download and Reading & Leeds Festival; headlined Slam Dunk Festival; and toured alongside Pierce The Veil, Bring Me The Horizon and 30 Seconds To Mars. With Nightmare Tripping there’s no limit to what they can accomplish.
