Europe’s most famous horror punk band, THE OTHER, celebrate Halloween 2025 with the release of their brand-new full-length “Alienated”, out today via Massacre Records – accompanied by the haunting new video for “Hier Sein”.
Following the success of the singles “I Give You The Creeps” and “A Ghost From The 80s”, the album marks the band’s return to their darkest roots – merging eerie atmosphere, melodic hooks, and the unmistakable horror energy that made THE OTHER a cult phenomenon.
“Hier Sein”, the band’s new single, continues this tradition. Frontman Rod Usher comments: “‘Hier Sein’ is our traditional German song on each album. This one’s very atmospheric and emotional and its videoclip illustrates this. The clip was filmed in the woods of my childhood home town Leichlingen – which translates into ‘corpse town’. The song ties in lyrically with the album title with its theme of estrangement.” The video takes some inspiration from the movie “Blair Witch Project”.

Produced and recorded by Tim Schulte (Massendefekt, Rogers, Callejon, Stefanie Heinzmann), mixed by Arne Neurand (Subway To Sally, ZSK, Guano Apes, Revolverheld) at Horus Studios, and mastered by Olman V. Wiebe (Kreator, Caliban, Sondaschule), the album delivers raw, powerful energy with a hauntingly cinematic edge.
Frontman Rod Usher describes the record as a “back to the roots” album, merging the immediacy of THE OTHER’s early work with the revitalized creativity brought by the return of founding bassist Andy Only, alongside guitarists J. Ends and Van Tom and drummer Jag Boone.
The album also features the singles “I Give You The Creeps” and “A Ghost From The 80s”, as well as brand-new fan favorites such as “Hellfire”, “The Witch From Outer Space”, and “Die Human Die”.
