Listen to “Dinosaur” from Theory of a Deadman, a song that takes the band back to their roots

Theory Of A Deadman are back with a new single, “Dinosaur,” out via Roadrunner Records. The song features a crunchy riff and catchy chorus, which fits with Theory’s longstanding hard rock sound. Watch the official visualizer for the song below.

“‘Dinosaur’ takes us back to our roots with this riff-driven rocker,” vocalist Tyler Connolly said in a statement. “To me, it feels like it could fit on any of our albums, but I will say if you like the old Theory Of A Deadman, you’ll love the new Theory Of A Deadman.”

“Rock is where we made our bed for all these years,” guitarist Dave Brenner added. “It’s been a while since we had an up-tempo in-your-face track like this – and it felt good.”

Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, YUNGBLUD) produced “Dinosaur.” The song marks the band’s first bit of new music since 2020’s “Say Nothing.” The group is also pushing the single as a “return to form stylistically,” with it being more of the classic rocker upon which Theory of a Deadman’s following was built.

Theory of a Deadman features Connolly and Brenner, alongside bass player Dean Back and drummer Joey Dandeneau. The guys got their start “Jamming together in basements throughout high school,” according to a release, and came out of their small hometown of North Delta, British Columbia, to release their 2002 self-titled debut. Since then, the guys have a plethora of multi-platinum albums and singles, including “All Or Nothing,” “Bitch Came Back,” “Lowlife,” “Angel,” “Hate My Life,” “Bad Girlfriend,” “Not Meant To Be” and “RX (Medicate).”

“Dinosaur” is the last of new music of Theory Of A Deadman’s upcoming studio album. They promise to release “a barrage of anthems” with the new set. Details on the new album are forthcoming.
