Des Rocs announces new album ‘To Hell And Back’ and unveils new single ‘Fall Together’

Author Benedetta Baldin - 15.4.2026

NYC rock ‘n roll artist Des Rocs announces his third studio album “To Hell and Back”, arriving 12th June via Sumerian Records – a towering new chapter that sharpens his cinematic instincts while pushing deeper into the mythos he’s been building from the ground up.

Alongside the announcement, Des Rocs unveils new single ‘Fall Together’, a sweeping, mid-tempo offering that leans into a more restrained but no less powerful side of his sound. Cinematic in scope, the track unfolds with dynamic instrumentation that ebbs and flows alongside its narrative arc, anchored by an epic string section that elevates its emotional weight. At the centre, Danny Rocco’s evocative vocal performance takes focus  commanding yet vulnerable – marking a subtle shift from the bombast toward something more nuanced without sacrificing scale.

“Sometimes you find yourself stuck in a place where no matter what you do, you’re gonna lose,” shares Rocco. “This song’s about that dead-end feeling, when both roads lead to the same place. Nothing good. It’s a heavy one, but it’s a real part of the story of this album. I hope this song can help those navigating those tough roads we have to travel in this thing called life.”

“To Hell and Back” builds on a run of singles that sketch out the album’s expansive, cinematic world. Breakout track ‘The Juice’ first put Des Rocs on the map at Rock Radio, pairing snarling riffs with swaggering, blues-soaked grooves and a razor-sharp vocal delivery – earning a Top 10 spot and a national Nissan commercial placement. He followed with ‘This Land’, a towering, arena-ready anthem featured as the theme for “Borderlands 4”, driven by stomping rhythms, searing guitar lines, and a sense of widescreen intensity that earned his second Top 10 at Rock Radio. Elsewhere, ‘When The Love Is Gone’ earned praise, with Rock Sound raving the track “embodies everything that is sensational about rock and roll.” Most recently, ‘The Riders of Red Hook (Legends Never Die)’ arrived as a surprise release, unfolding as a gritty, mythic slow-burn that was featured prominently during the UFC 326 broadcast for Holloway vs. Oliveira.

“This record is about anyone who’s ever been knocked down and gotten back up,” explains Rocco. “It’s for the people who keep goin’, even when it feels like the world’s against them. To Hell and Back is for the fighters, the dreamers and the survivors. This record is the culmination of everything I’ve ever done. It’s all those years of struggle wrapped up into one sonic battle cry. None of this music would’ve been possible without riding the roller coaster of tryin’ to make it in a band outta NYC.”
