Set It Off Declares War: The Triumphant, Independent Era Has Arrived
Set It Off’s self-titled album, released November 7, 2025, is a raw, high-voltage reset for the band, proving that total creative control equals total musical domination. This independent record delivers the heavy, focused sound that aggressively confronts the negativity of their past while launching them into a thrilling new future.
This is the Sound of Self-Control
Anticipation for this independent project has been through the roof, and the trio absolutely rose to the occasion, delivering the most uncompromising music of their career. They deserve major credit for taking this massive leap, proving they can create their sharpest, most focused work entirely on their own terms. This album is a genuine testament to the band’s maturity and fierce dedication to their artistic vision.
The band’s new self-titled album signals a massive shift away from their previous polished pop style, embracing a sound driven by crushing guitars, sharp percussion, and dark, dramatic synths. Frontman Cody Carson, alongside the entire trio, unleashes their most intense and “rage-filled” material yet.
The Icon Returns: "Wolf In Sheep's Clothing [REBORN]"
The decision to include “Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing [REBORN]” is an inspired move, blending the band’s celebrated history with the aggression of their current chapter. This revitalized version is noticeably darker, punchier, and far more instrumentally dense than the 2014 original, fully adopting the band’s new, heavier aesthetic. Featuring richer violin layers, amplified riffs, and a truly epic breakdown following the iconic spoken-word section, this track is a definitive standout that re-imagines one of their most popular songs with fresh grit, confidence, and fury.
Taking Down the 'Fake Ass Friends'
This entire record is a furious, unrestricted assault aimed squarely at every manipulator, liar, and fake person they’ve encountered. Tracks like the opening statement “Pathological” hit instantly with fiery riffs and rap-rock energy, while “Rotten” wraps bitter critiques in sticky, sweet metaphors backed by grinding guitar textures. Crucially, despite the sonic pivot toward alt-metal heaviness, Set It Off retains its signature weapon: insanely addictive pop hooks that make every venomous lyric land with maximum impact.
This Is The Best We Have Ever Been
The seamless execution of this project highlights just how expertly the three members of Set It Off work as a unit, a synergy forged through over a decade of creating music together. Their long history of collaboration is evident in every track, resulting in a cohesive, high-energy declaration of independence where every instrumental part—from drums to guitar—is perfectly locked into the central message.
The self-titled album is ultimately a fierce, self-empowering statement proving that Set It Off operates at their absolute peak when they are completely independent and charting their own course.
