...yes, i am on Kirk's mailing list too, so i have also been listening to the samples from the album today.
A couple of tracks have been released already on two e.p.'s - Theatre Of Hate sound AMAZING in Dub, so i am glad they have included some Dub mixes on this album as they did with the previous release. (Kinshi)

...Did you buy the previous album, Nigey? (Kinshi)
This haunting track is on the new album and was included on an e.p. in 2018...

 The return of Dead Men Walking featuring... Dave Ruffy : Jake Burns : Kirk Brandon : Segs Jennings Dead Men Walking are back in November 2021 with 4 Live UK shows to promote their band new debut studio album 'Freedom- It Ain't On The Rise'. See Dead Men Walking Live in Glasgow, Gosforth, Fleetwood & London.
November 11th to 14th 2021 Founding DMW member Kirk Brandon (Spear of Destiny/Theatre of Hate) will once again be joined by heralded rhythm section Segs and Ruffy from The Ruts on acoustic bass, percussion and vocals, completing the line up Jake Burns, legendary frontman of Stiff Little Fingers, will also be bringing his guitar, songs, and stories. New LP too... DEAD MEN WALKING
FREEDOM - It Ain't On The Rise
Dead Men Walking: FREEDOM – It Ain’t On The Rise – album review
Dead Men Walking is the long-time side project of Theatre Of Hate & Spear Of Destiny founder Kirk Brandon; an evolving collective of friends from the punk scene that over the years has seen its numbers swelled by the likes of Glen Matlock, Slim Jim Phantom, Mike Peters, Capt. Sensible, through to Pete Wylie, and Billy Duffy; the current and seemingly stable line up consists of Brandon, Jake Burns from Stiff Little Fingers and both Segs and Dave Ruffy from Ruts DC.
From 2001’s eponymously titled debut album, a raft of further live recordings have been released, whilst Graveyard Smashes Volume 1 was the first studio recording, this was followed up in 2015 with Easy Piracy – sadly, both releases are nigh on impossible to get hold of, hopefully, Freedom – It Ain’t On The Rise will be more readily available.
We get thirteen tracks which includes four new Brandon and Segs compositions specifically written for Dead Men Walking during the recent lockdown, the restrictions demanding a non-traditional approach to making the album – Ruffy, Segs and Kirk recording their parts at Pat Collier’s Perry Vale Studio in South London and Jake Burns recording his contributions at his home studio in Chicago. The album was then mixed in Brixton by Greg ‘Wizard’ Fleming.Rest here.... louderthanwar.com/dead-men-walking-freedom-it-aint-on-the-rise-album-review/ |

^^ One of his finest moments... albeit a bit incongruous, with the soul sound and the Hitler youth image.

....flaming roman/germanic torches were kind of 'standard issue' in promo videos back in the 80s funny seeing Kirk wearing eye liner though |
