ANTIBLOOM TO ARRIVE FEBRUARY 21, 2025
NEW SINGLE + MUSIC VIDEO CONFESSION OUT NOW
Ontario, Canada – With the approach of their 25th anniversary, acclaimed Canadian rock band Silverstein 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.
“In 2025 we will be celebrating 25 years as band. For a milestone this large, we felt it deserved the largest campaign of our career,” the band shares. “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 previously released single Skin & Bones. The two offer listeners their first glimpse at what Antibloom / Pink Moon has in store.
On Confession, vocalist Shane Told reveals: “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.”
North American fans can catch Silverstein in Las Vegas this weekend at When We Were Young Festival, performing their iconic album Discovering The Waterfront – now certified Gold in Canada – in full. Ahead of the Festival, they will be playing a rare, intimate headline show at American Legion Post 8. The show marks the start of the band’s 25th anniversary celebration, paying homage to venues they started out playing in nearly 25 years ago.
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.

ABOUT SILVERSTEIN:
Silverstein enters its 25th year with two full-length albums set for 2025. The band that NME calls “legendary,” and Loudwire placed among the Most Prolific Rock & Metal Artists of the 21st Century, continues to innovate and inspire on forward-thinking records and at crowd-embracing live shows.
Discovering the Waterfront (2005) remains a touchstone classic. A Beautiful Place to Drown (2020) earned a Rock Album of the Year nomination at the Juno Awards. Antibloom (arriving in February) and Pink Moon (arriving later in 2025) are stunning reminders of why the group is a vital subcultural force and why Alternative Press readers voted frontman Shane Told among the Five Best Post-Hardcore Vocalists.
Silverstein songs like My Heroine, Smile in Your Sleep, The Afterglow, and Infinite are postmodern anthems for a devoted following earned with passionate performances and authentic artistry. As recently as 2024, The Needle Drop called them “emo hardcore legends.” While their 500M+ streams reflect that, Silverstein grew up in a scene where the music and message come first.
Audiences sing and scream along in packed theaters, at festivals, and on tours around the world with groups like Simple Plan, Rise Against, Good Charlotte, Pierce The Veil, Beartooth, and Underoath.
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.
“We put everything we’ve learned/felt/experienced into this double album,” the band said in a shared statement, declaring Antibloom and Pink Moon “the absolute collection of our musical style.”
