Anthem of the Peaceful Army is the upcoming debut studio album by American rock band Greta Van Fleet. The album is scheduled for release on October 19, 2018, and follows the band's original two EP releases, Black Smoke Rising and From the Fires. The first single, "When the Curtain Falls", was released in July 2018.

Background

The band had formed as early as 2012, but was largely relegated to local live shows and touring until 2017, with the band's release of the EPs Black Smoke Rising and From the Fires.[1] The band found success with the releases, namely with the singles "Highway Tune" and "Safari Song", which both topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, for five and three weeks respectively.[2][3] With the songs' success, they moved to record a full length album, while still actively touring in support of the EPs.

Writing and recording

The band's original plan had been to quickly record songs they had written over the course of the last three to five years, of which the band had amassed a large number of songs and song ideas.[4] However, upon entering the studio, the band opted to largely write and record new music, all during a short two week stint in the studio.[5] It was later clarified that about 75% of the album was written and recorded during the 2018 sessions.[5]

Release and promotion

The album's first single, "When the Curtain Falls", was released in July 2018, along with the band promoting the song with their live national television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[6] As of September 2018, the single had peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock songs chart.[7] The album's title, Anthem of the Peaceful Army, and release date, October 19, 2018, was announced in early September 2018.[8] A small album teaser, along with a new song, "Watching Over", were also released around the time of the announcement.[9][8] Further songs "Lover, Leaver" and "Anthem" were released ahead of the album on September 21, and October 5, respectively.[10][11]
