A Place To Bury Strangers are digging deep into their own history with the announcement of Rare and Deadly, a new collection arriving April 3rd, 2026 on Dedstrange. Alongside the news, the band have shared Everyone’s The Same, a harsh track that thrives on tension and dissonance. It’s an immediate reminder of their ability to turn noise into something visceral and purposeful.
Rather than presenting a conventional rarities compilation, Rare and Deadly takes a more fragmented and exploratory form. The album brings together material recorded over a ten-year stretch, from 2015 through 2025, including demos, alternate versions, and previously shelved recordings. These pieces offer a glimpse into the band’s creative process, revealing ideas in their rawest states.
Each format (vinyl, cassette, CD, digital) features a completely different tracklist, meaning there is no singular, definitive version of the album. Instead, the project exists as a series of parallel documents, encouraging listeners to experience the archive from multiple angles.
Listeners can hear the development of Oliver Ackermann's perceptive imagination throughout Rare and Deadly, accompanied by a lot of feedback, compositions created from equipment pushed to its edges, and riffs twisted by broken pedals. While some tracks are erratic and unfinished, others foreshadow upcoming releases.
In that sense, Rare and Deadly feels less like a retrospective and more like an excavation.
