ILÆNDER Roars Back with Defiant New Single “Not Dead Yet” — A Sarcastic Groove-Laden Anthem Against Bullies and Megalomaniacs

Dutch alternative metal force ILÆNDER returns with their latest single “Not Dead Yet”, a bold and biting anthem that fuses searing riffs, infectious grooves, and cutting sarcasm into one explosive track. Out now on all major streaming platforms, the song marks another powerful statement from a band unafraid to blend nostalgic intensity with modern relevance.

Musically, “Not Dead Yet” is everything ILÆNDER does best — a heavy-hitting fusion of low-tuned alt/nu-metal riffage and unexpected melodic hooks. Think Deftones meets BeeGees in a disco-metal fever dream. Lyrically, however, the band steps deeper into social commentary, taking aim at bullies, abusers of power, and those who mistake cruelty for strength.

“Not Dead Yet” isn’t just a track — it’s a message. A call to recognize that true power lies in empathy, collaboration, and lifting each other up, not in control and domination. It’s a tribute to resilience and a reminder that those who roar the loudest often reveal their own fragility.
