• Track Listing

Strung Out is marking two major milestones in 2025: their 35th anniversary as a band and the 20th anniversary of their seminal album, Exile in Oblivion. This album, widely regarded as a must-own punk-hardcore classic, has been remixed and remastered for the occasion. As part of this celebration, the band, with the help of Kyle Black and Rob Ramos, completed "Glass Houses," an unfinished song from the original recording sessions. Exile in Oblivion showcases Strung Out's signature blend of melodic punk, hardcore, and metal elements, now sounding better than ever. While previous albums hinted at their technical prowess, Exile in Oblivion stands out as a disciplined display of intricate guitar work and rapid drumming, always serving the song's core. The album has consistently received praise for it's powerful songwriting, intricate musicianship, and a darker, more aggressive tone, solidifying it's reputation as a significant release within both the band's discography and the broader melodic punk/hardcore scene.
