Don Broco aren’t easing into their new era. “Nightmare Tripping,” the title track from their forthcoming album on Fearless Records, hits hard and fast, featuring Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger in a collaboration nobody saw coming and everybody needed.
The track storms forward on crunchy guitars, hard-hitting drums, and a razor-sharp vocal trade-off between Rob Damiani and Matt Donnelly, with Kroeger adding unmistakable grit to the mix. It swings from fevered screams to a chant-ready melodic chorus without losing a step. The cinematic, film-noir-inspired music video, directed by Gordy De St. Jeor and shot in a burnt-out L.A. haunted house, matches the song’s intensity frame for frame.
The band describes the concept with real precision: “Nightmare Tripping is the uncertainty between dreams and reality. When the paralysis demon holding you down forces you to confront what you’ve tried to escape by going to sleep, blurring the boundaries of consciousness.” Heavy territory, handled with total confidence.
‘Nightmare Tripping’ the album arrives May 27th via Fearless Records, reuniting the band with longtime collaborator Dan Lancaster. Early singles have already mapped out the terrain: “Cellophane” brought nu-metal swagger, “Hype Man” delivered hook-driven adrenaline, “Disappear” exposed raw emotion, and “Euphoria” brought dance-floor grooves and a massive chorus. Together, they point to Don Broco’s most expansive record yet.
Live, the band continues to pull bigger reactions with every tour. 2026 brings a major London date supporting Biffy Clyro, festival sets at ROCK IM RING and Rock For People, and more still to be announced.
