SiM Announces New Album and World Tour

May 21, 2026 – Japanese band SiM is excited to announce their highly new album HOOMAN AFTER ALL, set to be released September 2 via UNFD. Additionally, they have shared a brand new collaboration with Yukina of HANABIE. Stream “BLiNDEYES feat. Yukina from HANABIE.” now here, and pre-save/pre-order HOOMAN AFTER ALL here.

“We are so pumped to announce that our new album “HOOMAN AFTER ALL” drops September 2!” shares frontman MAH. “This album is our full on tribute to the prime era of rock from the late ’90s to early 2000s. It feels fresh, but at the same time, there’s this weird nostalgia running through it. We’re taking this album all over the world, so get ready. See you in the pit!”

About the new single he adds: “‘Mou sumimasen deha sumimasen’ means ‘Your apology won’t fix this anymore.’ Yukina added the perfect spice to my rage track. Can’t wait to tear it up live!”

Fans around the world can look forward to celebrating SiM’s new album as the band embarks on the HOOMAN AFTER ALL World Tour later this year. Kicking off in September with a handful of Japanese dates, the tour will hit North America in October and November, followed by UK/EU shows in early 2027. Tickets and VIP packages for all shows will be available starting this Friday May 22 at 10am local time. For additional information, please visit: SxixM.com.

Last month SiM hosted their annual DEAD POP FESTiVAL. The sold out event drew an audience of 15,000 people each day, treating attendees to bone-crushing performances from SiM, BABYMETAL, coldrain, MAXIMUM THE HORMON, Crystal Lake, Ankor, THORNHILL, and more.

About SiM:

SiM (Silence iz Mine) conquered their native country with a volatile mix of nü-metal and postmodern hard rock injected with hardcore attitude. The self-described “Reggae PUNX from Japan” broke into the US rock scene with hard-charging singles, including the No. 1 smash “The Rumbling.”

With the release of their latest album PLAYDEAD via UNFD, the alt-metal four-piece set their sights on the world.

The band’s music conjures the melodic bombast and rhythmic punch of early 2000s heavy hitters like Korn, Linkin Park, and Deftones, with precision blasts of chunky metalcore and the renegade spirit of classic reggae, two-tone ska, and punk that’s supercharged generations of subculture. They’ve created six full-length studio albums, three mini-albums, and an EP since their formation in 2004, in addition to performing at festivals around the world including Rock AM Ring, Rock IM Park, Download Festival, Graspop, Louder Than Life, and Welcome To Rockville.

SiM wrote 2022’s “The Rumbling” for the massive anime Attack on Titan: The Final Season Part 2 and “The Rumbling” shot to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs. It quickly racked up over 110 million streams on Spotify, and the official music video crossed 47 million views on YouTube.

They sold out the world-famous Nippon Budokan in 2015 and the 17,000-capacity Yokohama Arena in 2016. The same year, they made their US live debut at Knotfest Meets Ozzfest. “The Rumbling” also appears on PLAYDEAD, SiM’s sixth studio album, alongside “UNDER THE TREE,” the barnstorming “DO THE DANCE,” and “RED,” the theme song for the Netflix anime Kengan Ashura.

SiM began in Shonan, Kanagawa, Japan. Prior to the band’s formation, frontman MAH played in a high school group heavily inspired by Nirvana, Muse, Sublime, and punk. The reggae/punk vibe persisted as SiM took shape, while the band’s heavier side evolved toward more aggressive metal. SHOW-HATE joined the band on guitar in 2006, and SiM’s debut album, Silence iz Mine, followed two years later. In 2009, the current lineup was completed by SiN on bass and GODRi on drums.
