The CEO, the hard rock band featuring Sevendust bassist Vince Hornsby, will release its third album, “After the Fall,” on Nov. 27, 2026, via Rat Pak Records. Pre-order the album here, and hear its first single, “Reality,” below.
In addition to Hornsby, The CEO includes guitarists Chase Brown and Beau Anderson, drummer Joseph Herman and singer Mack Mullins.
Addressing the single “Reality,” Mullins said: “The track confronts a culture shaped by the screen: the endless feed, the performance of everyday life and the quiet cost of never looking away. It is direct, heavy and built to be played loud.”
“This is the most personal and meaningful record we’ve ever made,” Mullins said of “After the Fall.” “If you’ve followed us over the years, you’ll still hear everything you’ve come to expect: big guitars, heavy grooves, strong melodies, and plenty of good old-fashioned rock and roll. But this one is different.
“Musically, we pushed ourselves and took some chances. Huge credit to our producers, Zach Neal and our own Chase Brown, for helping bring these songs to life.
“More importantly, this album has something to say.
“‘After the Fall’ is about the world we’re living in: the distractions, the division, the noise, the things we lose sight of and sometimes the things we lose altogether. But it’s also about what comes next. Finding your way through the wreckage. Holding on to what matters. Realizing that even when everything seems to be falling apart, there’s still hope, faith, love, and a reason to get back up.
“There’s a lot of life in these 13 songs. Some of it isn’t pretty. Some of it is deeply personal. All of it is real.”
The CEO released its debut album, “Redemption,” in 2021, with its second album, “The Path Remains,” following in 2025.
