Alienation (stylized as Λ𝖫𝖨𝖤𝖭Λ𝖳𝖨Ø𝖭) is an upcoming eighth studio album by Canadian rock band Three Days Grace. It is scheduled to be released on August 22, 2025, through RCA Records. The album marks the return of vocalist Adam Gontier, who returned to the band in October 2024 following an eleven-year absence. It will also be their first as a quintet and a two-vocal band, as Matt Walst, who replaced Gontier in 2013, remained with Three Days Grace.
Background and recording.
On October 2, 2024, the band revealed via social media that they were in the studio with Adam Gontier teasing a possibility of new music in the works, posting a video with the caption ending "Three Days Grace 2X." The following day, the band confirmed that Gontier had returned full-time, and that Matt Walst would continue his role as a singer as well, sharing lead vocals between the two. The band also confirmed that new music would follow.
Recording for the album took place in 2024. On November 24, drummer Neil Sanderson told WRIF that they were almost done completing their eighth studio album. The band finished recording the album in January 2025, with an expected release date later that year. The group had been working with producers in Canada, United States and England, via Zoom. The album's title was revealed to be "Alienation" and Sanderson spoke about the concept stating it is "a journey through inner collapse and outward defiance."
