“Finis Temporum” — “the end of times” — is the title Cowboys & Aliens chose for their seventh album and their 30th anniversary release. It’s a bold statement, but one this band has earned.
The album opens with “Life Tree” and “Rabbit Hole” before delivering “Vengeance Of The Weird,” a track that had already been released as a stand-alone single back in June 2024 — long before a new record was even on the horizon. Lead single “Icy Grip” followed in 2025: a Post-Grungy Stoner track with a killer chorus and a dark, heavy production, written in the shadow of personal loss. Lyrics loaded with symbolism about grief and hope, wrapped in the unmistakable Cowboys & Aliens sound. “Ordinary Bliss” rounds out the new material before the album closes with a full reimagining of “Asteroid Blast” — originally recorded for “A Trip To The Stonehenge Colony” back in 2000, now rerecorded, remixed and remastered. A nod to where it all began, and a quiet full circle moment on a record that feels like one.
“Finis Temporum” is not an album born out of obligation or commercial calculation. It’s the sound of a band that still had something to say — and said it.
Due March 13, 2026 via Polderrecords, the album constitutes the band’s seventh full-length and arrives after “Burn!” (2022), itself a confident reassertion of their sonic identity. “Finis Temporum” pushes further into darker, more emotionally loaded territory.
