NOTHING MORE is one of rock’s most electrifying bands. They blend a full-on assault with soaring melodies and unique soundscapes in songs that unflinchingly embrace raw emotion.

The boundary-pushing 3x-Grammy-nominated outfit—Jonny Hawkins (vocals), Mark Vollelunga (guitar), Daniel Oliver (bass), and Ben Anderson (drums)— (March 28) have released the deluxe edition of their acclaimed 2024 album CARNAL across all digital outlets via Better Noise Music. Pre-orders for the physical release on CD and vinyl—due out May 16—are now available HERE.

CARNAL (DELUXE) adds on five bonus tracks, including a new version of the bracing “FREEFALL,” featuring 6x Platinum-certified rock artist Chris Daughtry, available now on all digital outlets. The “FREEFALL” video movingly tells the story about a firefighter who is struggling with his mental health and unexpectedly finds a new life-direction after making a chance connection with a homeless dog. Watch it on Better Noise Music’s official YouTube pageNOTHING MORE teamed up again with director Stephen Wayne Mallet (who did the same honors for the band’s “Fade In, Fade Out” video, from 2017’s THE STORIES WE TELL OURSELVES album, which has over 10M views).

“We wrote an anthem for the people who find themselves in an uncertain and chaotic phase of their life,” explains singer Jonny Hawkins about “FREEFALL.” “Every single one of us have had, or will have, experiences where it feels like the rug is pulled from under us… an end to a relationship, a job loss, or the death of a close family member. These times can be filled with anxiety, or they can be filled with spiritual euphoria as we accept our transformation. We’ve always believed that our losses are invitations to ascend to a higher level of reality…and this song is our way of encapsulating that realization. Chris Daughtry elevated that feeling with his soaring and pristine vocals. We are so honored to have him on one of the best songs we’ve ever written.”

CARNAL has seen the band achieve two #1 Active Rock radio singles—“ANGEL SONG (feat. David Draiman)” and “IF IT DOESN’T HURT”—and has to date amassed 100 million streams. The album received praise for being “one of the band’s most eclectic releases to date” (Blabbermouth) and having 15 “energized rock anthems that capture the band’s infectious live prowess” (Knotfest).

Four other bonus tracks on CARNAL (DELUXE) include a live version of the “ANGEL SONG” recorded from the band’s set at Aftershock Festival 2024 where NOTHING MORE was joined onstage by guest vocalist David Draiman of Disturbed; two remixed songs from Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, Asking Alexandria) and Justin “JD” Deblieck (Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White); plus a new song that was released February 7, “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE.” Fans can view the lyric video for “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE HERE and stream/download the song HERE.

Grammy-nominated rock band Nothing More have carved a reputation as one of the most electrifying and thought-provoking acts in modern rock. Hailing from San Antonio, Texas, the band—comprised of Jonny Hawkins (vocals), Mark Vollelunga (guitar), Daniel Oliver (bass), and Ben Anderson (drums)—delivers a signature blend of thunderous riffs, intricate rhythms, and emotionally charged vocals that challenge the boundaries of the genre.

Known for their explosive live performances and fearless approach to songwriting, Nothing More broke into the mainstream with their self-titled 2014 album, featuring the breakout hit “This Is The Time (Ballast).” Their 2017 follow-up The Stories We Tell Ourselves earned three Grammy nominations, including Best Rock Album and Best Rock Song for the anthemic “Go To War.”

With lyrics that explore mental health, philosophy, technology, and the human condition, Nothing More blends introspection with arena-ready energy. Their 2022 album Spirits pushes their sonic boundaries even further—melding raw aggression with cinematic depth, and reaffirming the band’s place as innovators in the evolution of hard rock.

Constantly evolving and always authentic, Nothing More continues to inspire a growing global fanbase with their bold artistry, genre-defying sound, and uncompromising message.
