Back One Out Release New Album “EVOLVE” — A Raw Punk-Metal Manifesto of Alienation, Urgency, and Resistance

Italian punk/rock/metal act Back One Out return with EVOLVE, their new full-length album out now, delivering an uncompromising blend of punk energy and metallic intensity. The record dives into themes of silence, alienation, emotional collapse, and the hollow pressure of a world that demands conformity, fading identity, and quiet disappearance.

Straddling the line between introspection and eruption, EVOLVE shifts from near-whispered fragility to instinctive, explosive outbursts. Each track carries a sense of emotional urgency, exposing vulnerability while refusing restraint. Songs like “Between the Silence” transform absence into language, capturing the tension between the longing for connection and the fear of exposure in a fractured modern reality.

When intimacy fractures, the album ignites. “Don’t Let Me Drown” emerges as a desperate plea against abandonment, a cry not to be swallowed by emotional distance while everything burns in the background. Meanwhile, “Evolve” and “Anthem of the Lost” reaffirm the band’s defiant stance: not to fade, not to conform, not to become silent.

Formed in Livorno in 2002, Back One Out have built a resilient legacy in the Italian and European underground. After releasing their debut album Helpless in 2006, mastered in the USA by Alan Douches (Fall Out Boy, Alkaline Trio), the band toured extensively and shared stages with acts like Strung Out and 7 Seconds. Their later releases, including Swallowed by Future (2012) and Reborn (2020), showcased an evolution toward a heavier and more aggressive sound.

Now operating as a power duo since 2025 — Alberto Velgi (vocals, drums) and Raffaele Marra (guitar, bass, backing vocals) — Back One Out channel renewed intensity and focus. Following the release of singles “Anthem of the Lost”and “Don’t Let Me Drown,” EVOLVE stands as their boldest statement yet: a record that refuses burnout, embraces emotional truth, and turns noise, rage, and vulnerability into resistance.
