Official Announcement | Published: Mar 22, 2026 5:09 PM EDT

(SSP) New Jersey hellraisers Who On Earth have announced their forthcoming album, It Takes The Village. Set for release on May 8th, the band's second full-length features 12 headbanging tracks of unfiltered, high-octane mayhem.

Commenting on the new album, bassist Pete Rizzi says: "It Takes The Village is a true representation of the diversity of Who On Earth, demonstrating the lack of self-imposed boundaries in our music. Our brand-new material showcases our continued growth as songwriters, and we've also included a few reimagined versions of earlier tracks that feel fresh and more powerful than ever. After five years of building, this release is our way of saying, 'This is Who On Earth."

Coinciding with the announcement, WHO ON EARTH have unveiled their second single, "Any Other Way"-an anthemic rocker primed for the stage, arriving just ahead of the band's upcoming U.S. tour with FOZZY.

Rizzi adds: "'Any Other Way' is a rearranged, re-recorded, remixed, and remastered version of 'Black Swan' from our debut album, Blame. It's a song about accepting the events in our lives and the choices that brought us here. Regret has no place in that process-the past is the past. Would we do things differently? Of course. But maybe everything had to unfold exactly as it did. It's about embracing where you are, learning from it, and ultimately saying, 'I wouldn't have it any other way.'"
