Italian post-punk trio The Black Veils will release their fourth studio album “Gaslight” via Icy Cold Records on November 14, 2025. The record follows 2021’s “Carnage” and advances the band’s shift toward electronica while retaining their direct post-punk core. The album will be available on CD, LP and digital.
A release event is scheduled for November 15, 2025 at Covo Club, Bologna (with Anton).
“Gaslight” is presented by the band as “ten apocalyptic tracks to dance to,” described as a “funeral party” set against contemporary disillusion. The group adds that the album title track references George Cukor’s film and broadens their long-running cinema imagery. A teaser single, “Gaslight!”, was already released on February 14, 2025; subsequent singles included “Have You Seen Bunny Lake?,” “Nyctalopia,” and “Buster Keaton,” each supported by official videos which you can view below.
About The Black Veils
The Black Veils formed in Bologna, Italy, in 2014, when Alessandro Criscitiello (aka Gregor Samsa; vocals), Filippo Scalzo (bass) and Mario d’Anelli (guitar, synth) began writing melodic post-punk. Their early period culminated in the self-released debut “Blossom” (2015), followed by “Dealing with Demons” on Atmosphere Records (2017).
In 2021 the band signed with Icy Cold Records for their third album “Carnage,” issued on digital, CD and vinyl. Across 2025 they trailed “Gaslight” with singles “Gaslight!,” “Have You Seen Bunny Lake?,” “Nyctalopia,” and “Buster Keaton.” Read the review of ‘Gaslight’.
