Central Arkansas quartet LEVELS — Kolby Carignan [vocals], Jager Felice[guitar], Jacob Hubbard [bass], and Dalton Kennerly [drums] — are thrilled to announce the April 10 release of their new album This Will Make You Feel Again via SharpTone Records. Pre-order it here. The band shares the video for the double single "Fume" and "Death Dance."
Watch it below.
Regarding "Fume," the band states, "The song explores the emotional weight of a relationship pushed to its limits by burnout, miscommunication, and constant internal struggle. Through vivid imagery, it captures the tension between a love that's inevitably turning cold and the desire to try and reignite it. It is a plea for connection, an honest reflection on trying to break through emotional distance and offer refuge before everything is burned."
As for "Death Dance," it's "about obsession — when one person becomes home, poison, and salvation all at once. It's that feeling where leaving seems impossible, but staying slowly kills you. It's caught between survival and surrender, and the song feeds from that space."
The band retains a singular focus with the album — and that's to elicit a visceral response.
"For us, the main priority is to make you feel something," affirms Carignan. "If you come to a LEVELS show or listen to a record, you should leave fully nourished. We don't create songs; we create experiences."
Overall, This Will Make You Feel Again is more than an album or a statement; it's a call to action. "As creativity becomes shackled to algorithms and artificial intelligence, TWMYFA subverts the standard and unapologetically delivers emotionally charged experiences grounded in reality and rhythm," the band declares. "Through its pulverizing riffs, electric energy, and hypnotic melodies, this release extensively explores elements of the modern human struggle—such as maintaining a sense of identity, reconciling religion with reality, and adapting in the wake of the unimaginable. From the void of collateral content, this album reaches out to offer you an escape: To feel."
LEVELS openly aim to provoke a physical and emotional response with their fluid and future-facing hybrid of metal, pop, drum 'n' bass, and dance music. They deliver pit-ready riffs, hooks tailor-made for arenas, and beat drops that could rouse any after-hours club to life. As such, they effectively encode vampiric sensuality and slick grooves within the metallic framework of 22nd century hard rock anthems. The band will move you in one way or another on their sophomore full-length LP, This Will Make You Feel Again. The group has defied categorization since its formation in 2016. New Noise awarded the PULSE EP [2024] a perfect score of "5-out-of-5," going on to marvel at "the band's ability to seamlessly transition between different genres and change up their sound at any time." Throughout 2025, the collective carefully assembled the album with producer Jonathan Dolese at the helm. Recording at KonKrete Studios in Nashville, TN, they bottled and distilled a wide swath of inspirations and emotions into ten airtight tracks. With such open-hearted honesty, LEVELS will undoubtedly make you feel. "When you hear the record, I hope you feel the way I did back in high school after a friend showed me a new song in the car," Jacob says. "Maybe you'll want to share it with everyone. There would be no better reaction."
