The Horrors

Night Life

Release date:

The band’s sixth album was released on the 21st of March 2025.

The usual formats were used for the album including CD, LP and two digital editions (standard and deluxe). Surprisingly, no cassette edition has to date been made available, despite the cassette “hype”.

Pre-orders from the official store came with a signed print. Amazon.co.uk also offered an exclusive signed CD copy, whereas Banquet Records offered personalized signed LP and CD editions.

The band gave black vinyl test pressing copies away as a prize when you had pre-ordered the album through the official store. Faris had hand drawn the generic white sleeve of each copy. 5-10 copies are expected to have been made available.

Based on a social media post on the 24th of October 2024, the band was working on 12 songs while recording this album. 9 of those ended up on Night Life whereas a demo version of We Can Never Say Goodbye became a bonus song on a limited flexi 7″. It is unknown whether the remaining two songs will ever see the light of day.

The working titles for the 12 songs were:

  • S.a.d
  • Fall Out (this became Trial By Fire)
  • Sludge
  • Tension
  • Damned
  • Feeling Is Gone
  • Trancelvania (this became Lotus Eater)
  • Walking In Heaven
  • Final Episode (this became The Silence That Remains)
  • More Than Life
  • When The Rhythm Breaks
  • We Can Never Say Goodbye

A special glow in the dark vinyl edition was made available through the band’s official website. This marks the band’s first LP to be released on colored vinyl. It comes with a printed inner sleeve and lyrics booklet. The outer seal features a white circular hype sticker.

The record’s glow has a light to dark green color and looks great in total darkness. In normal daylight it looks like a clear vinyl disc with a cream finish.

The above photos show the front artwork with and without the hype sticker, the back, the signed 12″x12″ pre-order print and the discs with and without daylight. Note that the print was (unfortunately?) only signed by Faris, Rhys and Amelia.

This glow in the dark edition was later made available through Rough Trade with an exclusive 7″ disc and alternate artwork.

The WAV meta data shows some interesting information:

  • Final Episode is supposed to be part of an album called Rhys and Faris Home demos
  • TRANCELVANIA was once part of an album called Rhys Home Demos and the song has a tag being (Rhys Demo). It also refers to “EPs 2019”, implying it was once slated for one of the two 2021 EP’s and has been around for at least five years before it was released on Night Life
