A formidable force in alternative rock for more than two decades, Anberlin have unveiled their new full-length album, Vega via Equal Vision Records. This highly-anticipated release is the first proper record since announcing the touring departure of vocalist Stephen Christian and the addition of Memphis May Fire’s Matty Mullins. 

The twelve tracks, deliberately free-flowing, represent the diverse nature of Anberlin; with a handful of much heavier tracks, a dabble into industrial exploration, as well as the quintessential mellow vibes Anberlin fans have come to love over the band’s expansive career.

On the new chapter of Anberlin, drummer Nate Young emphasizes “VEGA is our era. No rules, just right. Our concept from day one was to merge two EP’s into one full album with a couple added songs. We just didn’t know at the time that those songs would be with a different singer. We’re embracing this era and leaning all the way in.”

In addition to the release of Vega, Anberlin released a music video for “Seven”, one of the two new tracks on the album which features Matty Mullins on vocals. The intimate track features a black and white performance heavy video which was directed by drummer, Nate Young, and showcases the band’s inimitable stage presence.

On “Seven”, Young adds “’Seven’ is a song where we really pushed ourselves creatively, but it also came very naturally at the same time. With each part of the song we’d get inspired by a new idea that would further it into one of our favorite songs of this new era for us.”
