DED will release its second full-length album, “School of Thought,” digitally on Oct. 15, 2021, via Suretone Records. The physical release will follow on Nov. 19.
“School of Thought” can be pre-ordered digitally here.
“We are elated to release our sophomore album ‘School of Thought,’ as we really pushed ourselves outside of our comfort zone and that is where growth and great things can happen,” Joe Cotela said. “A school of thought is the perspective of a group of people who share common characteristics of opinion or outlook of a philosophy, cultural movement, or art movement. That is what The DED Nation is. It speaks to the lyrics and the foundation of the ethos of DED’s message. We cover themes of self-empowerment, mental health, darkness, anger, futility, false idols and being the change you want to see amongst others—everything it is to be a human while navigating through this life. I think it includes a broader spectrum of our influences and where we can venture creativity and dynamically as well. We feel it and we hope everyone else does, too.”
DED is on tour with In This Moment and Black Veil Brides. All dates are below.
