Awolnation to Release New Studio Album Run March 20

AWOLNATION have announced the release of their new studio album titled Run (Red Bull Records) on March 20, the highly anticipated follow-up to their chart-topping debut Megalithic Symphony. Following a whirlwind two-year world tour, 2014 saw AWOLNATION withdraw into the depths of the California coastline to construct the sophomore effort. Pre-orders of Run are available from tomorrow at www.awolnationmusic.com, with an instant download of the band’s electric first single “Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf), as well as exclusive merch pre-order bundles. AWOLNATION has just released the official music video for the single that can be viewed online HERE and “Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf)” is available now on iTunes and streaming services.

A culmination of the years following the release of their debut album, the 14-track Runwas written, performed and produced entirely by musical architect Aaron Bruno. The end result is a finely tuned musical masterwork that is at times, and all at once, sprawling, atmospheric, exuberant, earnest and refined with moments of a signature aggressive unease. “There is not one second on the record that hasn’t been thoughtfully placed,” said Bruno. “Every single element serves a purpose.”

Standout songs alongside the first single “Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf)” include the cinematic “Jailbreak,” the soaring anthem “I Am,” the title track “Run,” the euphoric “Windows,” the painfully vulnerable “Headrest for My Soul,” and the atomic rebellion of “KOOKSEVERYWHERE!!!!”

Run is the first release for AWOLNATION following the overwhelming success ofMegalithic Symphony. Released in 2011, the band’s gold-certified debut album was an alternative music revelation that became an astonishing success resonating with fans around the world. The album holds a number of long-running Billboard chart positions including 146 weeks on the Independent Albums chart, 111 weeks on the Billboard Top 200, 105 weeks on the Top Rock Albums chart and has topped the Heatseekers Albums chart 8 separate times.

Their hit single “Sail” is a redefining global anthem, certified double Platinum in New Zealand and is the second longest charting song in the Billboard Hot 100's 55-year history. It has amassed hundreds of millions of video views and streaming plays online, topping Billboard’s Rock Streaming Songs chart in 2014 and charting around the world: it is certified 10x platinum in Norway, 6x platinum in the U.S. and Canada, 3x platinum in Sweden, 2x platinum in Australia, platinum in Switzerland, gold in Austria, Germany and the UK.

Following the success of “Sail,” the band would go on to chart two more alternative singles, “Not Your Fault” and “Kill Your Heroes,” having sold over a million downloads combined. In 2014 AWOLNATION remained prominent on numerous Billboard Year End charts closing out the year on Rock Streaming Songs Artists #4, Rock Digital Songs Artists #10, Hot Rock Songs Artists #14, Top Rock Artists #17, Independent Albums #40, and several more. Since the release of their debut album, AWOLNATION has performed countless shows to millions of fans across the globe, including Coachella, Voodoo Festival, Austin City Limits, Osheaga, Brazil’s Mix FM Fest and Austria’s Frequency Festival.
