The 11-track collection marks their first full-length since 2021’s breakthrough album, _Immoral Compass,_ expanding the band’s distinctive blend of punk, pop and folk into their most cinematic and hard-hitting work yet. [⌊Doom Scroll⌉⌊Doom Scroll⌉[ **_Album art by Elliot Lozier_** **[Pre-save Exhausted Dialogue here.](https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/doomscroll/exhausted-dialogue)** “The Ravine” was inspired by an almost unbelievable series of setbacks that left the band wondering if they were genuinely cursed. _“Our tour van died in the mountains, we saw a dead body, we had a friend fall into a ravine, and a family member had a brain aneurysm at our house while watching our dogs, which forced us to cancel a tour,”_ songwriter Elliot Lozier recalls. _“All of our gear got flooded during an outdoor show, and from then on, every single time we played outside, it would rain. Our new van even had a window smashed within a day of having it. I wish I was exaggerating.”_ Even the recording sessions were plagued by strange occurrences. Instead of allowing the bad luck to derail them, however, Doom Scroll emerged stronger and more unified. _“The song is about how much we’ve endured as a band while pushing through this run of bad luck,” _Lozier says. _“Instead of folding, we actually became stronger and more tight-knit because of it—and maybe a little more superstitious, too.”_ Led by Lozier (We the Heathens, Pesky Self, Atrocity Solution, Escape From The ZOO) and Taylor Dittman (Broken Bow, Hermit Stew), Doom Scroll came together in 2020 as a collective of veteran DIY musicians. The lineup also includes bassist Micah Butler (Chatterbox and the Latter Day Satanists, Helga Pataki), guitarist and producer Jon Pizarro of acoustic black-metal project Dead Work, and drummer Marissa Sendejas( Chad Hates George, formerly of Days N Daze). Richard Thomas will join the band as their touring drummer for the upcoming U.S. dates. _Exhausted Dialogue_ was recorded by Lozier and Pizarro in their bedrooms, continuing Doom Scroll’s deeply rooted DIY approach. It was mixed and mastered by Grammy Award- winning engineer **Jason Livermore**, whose credits include **Propagandhi’s** _Supporting Caste_, **NOFX’s** _Wolves in Wolves’ Clothing_ and **The Suicide Machines’**_ War Profiteering Is Killing Us All._ Ian Cook of **Larry and His Flask** also appears on the track “Horsemen.” [⌊Doom Scroll⌉⌊Doom Scroll⌉[ **_Photo: Alex Binder_** _“Exhausted Dialogue is an album about internal and external struggle,”_ Lozier explains. _“Rarely do we find any kind of reprieve when facing these struggles, and it felt like we were beating a dead horse by singing about these topics again and again.”_ The album’s title takes its inspiration from the language of video games. _“There’s a saying in video game culture that when you’re talking to an NPC who can further the story or quest, you should exhaust their dialogue,” _Lozier continues._“ This means talking to them over and over until they start repeating what they’ve said. I thought the concept matched the lyrical and tonal vibe of the album as a whole and summed up all of the songs pretty well.”_ Doom Scroll wanted the album’s musical scope to match the weight of its subject matter, drawing inspiration from cinematic scores while retaining the immediacy and urgency of their live performances. _“We wanted to craft an album that felt like you could be moshing at the gates of Winterfell from Game of Thrones while simultaneously punching Nazis in the face,” _Lozier says._ “I love movie and television scores, and I was doing my best to integrate that into these songs. I wanted it to feel cinematic.”_ The new album follows Doom Scroll’s November 2025 tour of Australia, where the band performed material from _Immoral Compass_, their 2023 EP _Pyrrhic Victory_ and _Exhausted Dialogue._ The band also previewed the forthcoming record at an August 8 hometown show at Moe’s Original BBQ in Englewood, Colorado, where attendees could purchase an advance burned-CD edition. Previously praised by _Dying Scene, Rebel Noise, Punknews.org _and the _Houston Press,_ Doom Scroll have steadily built a dedicated following through emotionally charged songwriting and energetic live performances. Doom Scroll will hit the road with **Hans Gruber and the Die Hards** beginning August 20 for an extensive U.S. tour supporting _Exhausted Dialogue_, with Richard Thomas joining them on drums. Hans Gruber and the Die Hards will appear on all dates except September 11 in Denton and September 12 in Oklahoma City. #### **DOOM SCROLL TOUR DATES** [⌊Doom Scroll⌉⌊Doom Scroll⌉[ * August 20 — Sioux Falls, SD — The Den * August 21 — Minneapolis, MN — 56 Brewing * August 22 — Evansville, WI — EUM * August 23 — Detroit, MI — Sanctuary * August 24 — Dayton, OH — Cosmo Joe’s * August 25 — Lafayette, IN — People’s Pub * August 26 — Cleveland, OH — No Class * August 27 — Millersville, PA — Phantom Power * August 28 — Philadelphia, PA — Nikki Lopez * August 29 — Brattleboro, VT — Stone Church * August 30 — Brooklyn, NY — Gold Sounds * September 1 — Richmond, VA — The Camel * September 3 — Lynchburg, VA — Super Rad Arcade Bar * September 4 — Chapel Hill, NC — Local 506 * September 5 — Asheville, NC — Static Age * September 6 — Charlotte, NC — The Milestone * September 7 — Birmingham, AL — The Firehouse * September 8 — New Orleans, LA — Okay Bar * September 9 — Houston, TX — Trip Six * September 10 — Austin, TX — Alienated Majesty Books * September 11 — Denton, TX — Rubber Gloves* * September 12 — Oklahoma City, OK — Grand Royale* _*Doom Scroll only; no Hans Gruber and the Die Hards._ As heard on [Episode 243 of the Nyrdcast Podcast](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2026/08/nyrdcast-podcast-243-hate-drink/). **Follow DOOM SCROLL:[Website](https://zjwgpy.clicks.mlsend.com/tf/cl/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjEwOTI4NjUsXCJsXCI6MTk1NTI0Mzg1MjQyNjEzMjQ5LFwiclwiOjE5NTUyNDM5ODEwNDQ0Njc5OX0iLCJzIjoiZmFhNzg4MDM5ZTVmZTNiMyJ9) | [Instagram](https://zjwgpy.clicks.mlsend.com/tf/cl/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjEwOTI4NjUsXCJsXCI6MTk1NTI0Mzg1MjUxMDAxODU5LFwiclwiOjE5NTUyNDM5ODEwNDQ0Njc5OX0iLCJzIjoiZjlmYTdjYTg4ODI0YjVlZSJ9) | [Facebook](https://zjwgpy.clicks.mlsend.com/tf/cl/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjEwOTI4NjUsXCJsXCI6MTk1NTI0Mzg1MjU4MzQxODkyLFwiclwiOjE5NTUyNDM5ODEwNDQ0Njc5OX0iLCJzIjoiZmQ0ZjEzYTMzYjEwMWUwNSJ9) | [TikTok](https://zjwgpy.clicks.mlsend.com/tf/cl/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjEwOTI4NjUsXCJsXCI6MTk1NTI0Mzg1MjY0NjMzMzQ5LFwiclwiOjE5NTUyNDM5ODEwNDQ0Njc5OX0iLCJzIjoiNDYwOGMzMGU5NGM1Y2M0MiJ9) | [Spotify](https://zjwgpy.clicks.mlsend.com/tf/cl/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjEwOTI4NjUsXCJsXCI6MTk1NTI0Mzg1MjcwOTI0ODA2LFwiclwiOjE5NTUyNDM5ODEwNDQ0Njc5OX0iLCJzIjoiYzVjMzZkNTVjOGQzYzdhNCJ9) [⌊Earshot Media⌉⌊Earshot Media⌉[ ### Share this: * [ Facebook ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/doom-scroll-releases-the-ravine/?share=facebook) * [ X ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/doom-scroll-releases-the-ravine/?share=x) * [ Email ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/doom-scroll-releases-the-ravine/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20DOOM%20SCROLL%20Releases%20Defiant%20Single%20%22The%20Ravine%22&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyrdcast.com%2Fdoom-scroll-releases-the-ravine%2F&share=email) * [ LinkedIn ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/doom-scroll-releases-the-ravine/?share=linkedin) * [ Mastodon ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/doom-scroll-releases-the-ravine/?share=mastodon) * [ Nextdoor ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/doom-scroll-releases-the-ravine/?share=nextdoor) * [ Pinterest ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/doom-scroll-releases-the-ravine/?share=pinterest) * [ Reddit ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/doom-scroll-releases-the-ravine/?share=reddit) * [ Tumblr ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/doom-scroll-releases-the-ravine/?share=tumblr) ### Like this: Like Loading… ### _Related_
