Juno Award-winning rockers Billy Talent have announced their new album Crisis Of Faith, due for release on 21st January 2022 via Spinefarm Records. The band have also joined forces with Rivers Cuomo of Weezer for their new single ‘End of Me’.
‘End Of Me’ is the latest new music from the band, following a string of recent hits that include hit singles ‘Reckless Paradise’ and ‘I Beg to Differ (This Will Get Better)’, along with the anthemic prog-inspired ‘Forgiveness I + II.’

Of the new single, the band say: “This is a full circle moment for us. We’ve admired and have been fans of Weezer since the Blue Album until now. Before we had a title, this song was originally called ‘Hendrix+Weezer’ so it only felt right to ask Rivers to sing on it. The song encompasses the essence of 90’s alt-rock which was a hugely impactful and influential time for our band. We’re proud of the song and very happy to have Rivers be a part of it.”
Billy Talent‘s new ten-track LP, Crisis Of Faith, was produced entirely by the band’s guitarist and main songwriter, Juno-nominated producer Ian D’Sa, in the band’s Toronto studio, and was mixed by the legendary Chris Lord-Alge. Those who pre-order Crisis Of Faith will have the opportunity to win a one-of-a-kind Player Series Fender Stratocaster modelled after Ian’s own Strat.
