The Living Tombstone Unveil New Album 'Rust'
“The Internet’s biggest gaming band” - NME
“The Living Tombstone is creating worlds for its fans to play in… and it’s a brilliant, fascinating, and fresh approach” - LA Weekly
Today, the platinum-certified electronic rock duo The Living Tombstone, comprised of Yoav Landau and Sam Haft, unveil their long-awaited sophomore album Rust via 10k Projects and Ghost Pixel Records – listen HERE.
Rust marks TLT’s full-length release in over 5 years, following 2020’s zero_one. While their debut was an introspective take on self-actualization, Rust is a visceral protest record that channels the energy of dystopian 1980s science fiction, resistance movements, and the slow decay of authoritarian systems. The 10-track record explores themes of social justice, oppression, and the inner strength of those who refuse to fall in line. From the high-energy adrenaline-inducing tracks “Be Alone” and “I Walk Ahead Of You,” to the anthemic “Orphans,” as well as the pleading cries on “Goliath,” TLT’s sophomore album highlights the band’s signature emotive storytelling.
“Writing this album with Yoav has been enormously rewarding and challenging as an artist and songwriter,” shared Sam Haft. “Although inspired by themes of social injustice, authoritarianism, and dystopia, Rust also reflects an optimism that we’re capable of truly confronting the issues we face as a species to fight for a better tomorrow.”
“This album has been a huge challenge,” added Yoav Landau. “The writing and music production with Sam took 6 years. I'm glad I was on this journey creating Rust, I love you to the fans, friends, and family. Hope you enjoy the album.”
Up next, The Living Tombstone will kick off their biggest global headline tour yet. The TLT World Tour 2025 kicks off tomorrow in Dublin, Ireland, launching a European run that includes upgraded venues across the UK, France, Netherlands, Germany, and Italy, plus their festival debut at Rock for People in the Czech Republic. The band also has scheduled stops in Japan, Australia, Philippines, before hitting Latin America for the first time ever this summer. TLT will return to North America for a 23-city trek, starting September 30 in Columbus, OH, and wrapping November 12 in Detroit, MI. Full tour routing can be found HERE.
