Stillbirth – Survival Protocol Digipack

The new Stillbirth album, Survival Protocol, will be released on 31 October 2025. The band itself says:

We are thrilled to announce the release of our next album, ‘The Survival Protocol,’ on 31 October 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music!
This new collaboration marks the beginning of a fresh chapter for us – one that gives us the freedom to continue pushing our boundaries while having a strong and dedicated team by our side. Working with Reigning Phoenix Music has been fantastic, and we are very excited about everything that lies ahead.

The Survival Protocol contains nine songs with a total of around 35 minutes of pure brutality. It is an uncompromising Stillbirth album – brutal, fast and full of raw energy, but this time with even more dynamism and genre-spanning madness. Each track has its own identity and tells a different chapter of the story – from the moment of calm before the explosion, through the complete detonation, to the destroyed reverberation when nothing is left standing.

As before, we worked with Demigod Recordings for mixing and mastering to achieve maximum impact and sound quality.
The artwork is once again by Aghy Purakusuma, who has surpassed himself – an impressive, detailed work with many hidden Easter eggs to discover.

We can’t wait to share this beast with all of you – old fans and new maniacs alike.
The protocol for survival is simple: turn it up loud – and celebrate the brutal party!

New concept album from Stillbirth

The Survival Protocol is the next chapter in the Stillbirth universe – an uncompromising, science fiction-inspired concept album that continues the story after the apocalyptic finale of Homo Deus.

Humanity is no longer fighting for power.
It is fighting for survival.

After the true creator – an alien species behind the failed ‘Project: Human’ – returned to wipe out Earth once and for all, nothing remained of the world but ruins. A final group of survivors managed to escape in one of the last remaining spaceships – away from a planet that was sinking into judgement and decay.

Drifting in the endless blackness of space, surrounded by silence and isolation, the survivors are driven to the brink of madness. But fate leads them to a new world – hostile, raw and full of primitive life.
Out of desperation and determination to never repeat the downfall of Earth, they activate the Survival Protocol: a brutal, pre-programmed directive designed to ensure dominance at any cost.

What follows is not peace.
What follows is not a new beginning.
What follows is conquest – and annihilation.
