THREE DAYS GRACE Releases New Single 'DOMINATE' Ahead Of Upcoming Album

Summary

• Dominate, the new single from Three Days Grace, features both Adam Gontier and Matt Walst sharing vocal duties for the first time.
• The track previews the upcoming album Alienation, arriving August 22 via RCA Records with themes of anxiety, addiction, and disconnection.
• A major North American and international tour is planned, including dates with Disturbed, Volbeat, and Breaking Benjamin.

Three Days Grace has released a new single titled “Dominate” (watch the video at the end of the article), available today on all major streaming platforms.

The track is part of the band’s upcoming eighth studio album, Alienation, scheduled for release on August 22, 2025, via RCA Records.

Two Vocalists, One Track

Dominate features both current frontman Matt Walst and returning vocalist Adam Gontier, performing together on a studio release for the first time.

Gontier’s comeback after an 11-year absence adds weight to the band’s evolving direction.

The dual vocal approach brings contrast, texture, and a sense of history colliding with the present.

What Does It Sound Like?

The track leans into a heavier, more urgent sound. Early listener feedback includes comparisons to Meteora-era Linkin Park, with layered riffs and an aggressive tempo.

Thematically, the band keeps it succinct: “Dominate” is about drive, desire, control, and pushing through resistance. No metaphors needed.

New Album Context ‘Alienation’

Alienation will include 12 tracks. Titles like “Apologies”, “Mayday”, and “Kill Me Fast” suggest a tone that’s intense and emotionally charged.

The album explores themes such as anxiety, addiction, disconnection, and internal collapse, while still holding onto a thread of resolve.

Drummer Neil Sanderson described it as “a journey through implosion and confrontation.”

Previous singles “Mayday” and “Apologies” helped set the tone. The former marked Gontier’s official return to the fold, and the latter offered a glimpse into the band’s more introspective lyrical direction.

Production credits include Howard Benson, Zakk Cervini, and Dan Lancaster.

Chart Trajectory and Tour Plans

The mix of familiar heaviness and emotional accessibility continues to resonate.

Following the release of Alienation, Three Days Grace will tour alongside Disturbed, with additional co-headlining dates featuring Breaking Benjamin and Volbeat.

A full-scale international tour is planned for late 2025.
