Four years after the release of Always Foreign, The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die returns to action with their fourth full-length, to be titled Illusory Walls and released on Epitaph Records on Oct. 8 (digital) and Dec. 3 (vinyl).
According to guitarist/vocalist David F. Bello, the title comes from Dark Souls video game. "[it] refers to a hidden surface that seems to prevent entry, but upon inspection is nothing more than a visual illusion,” he says, and was written and recorded in Connecticut and Philadelphia.
The band will be on tour this fall.
