I Promised the World release ‘Bliss in 7 Languages’ Out Now
I PROMISED THE WORLD
BAND SIGN TO RISE RECORDS
ANNOUNCE SELF-TITLED EP OUT 16TH JANUARY 2026
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR “BLISS IN 7 LANGUAGES”
The fast-rising Texas-based five-piece I Promised The World have signed to Rise Records and announced a new self-titled EP for 16th January 2026.
On the signing the band notes: "It’s an unreal feeling to be signed to Rise, a label that has history with many of the bands that have inspired us along the way. We hope this record connects to both old and new listeners by giving nostalgia and an improved version of our sound.” The first single, “Bliss in 7 Languages,” which arrives with a video, harkens to the early-2000s post-hardcore era while melding in screamo and Midwest emo, refracted through the digital chaos of the internet age — equal parts nostalgia and new-world anxiety. Produced by Jon Markson (Drug Church, DRAIN, Stay Inside) and Adam Cichocki, the band — whose oldest member is just 21 — channel a sound that feels both rediscovered and redefined, shaped as much by message-board deep dives and YouTube rips as it is by the raw, unfiltered emotion that first defined the genres.

Born out of tragedy, the band started after vocalist/guitarist Caleb Molina lost his father in 2020 due to COVID. Though the band—completed by vocalist Hunter Wilson, drummer Mason Zschau, guitarist Mason Nowlin and bassist Aidan Vickers—didn’t actually form until a few years later in 2023, their existence is intrinsically linked to his death. I Promised The World has always been both an extension and expression of Molina’s grief. But, as the band’s new self-titled EP demonstrates, it now also exists in defiance of it, as a celebration of Molina’s dad’s life. In the two short years of the band's existence, they’ve seen tours with Deafheaven, Midrit and Koyo.
