FINIS TEMPORUM — "the end of times" — is the title Cowboys & Aliens chose for their seventh album and their 30th anniversary release. It's a bold statement, but one this band has earned.
The album opens with Life Tree and Rabbit Hole before delivering Vengeance Of The Weird, a track that had already been released as a standalone single back in June 2024 — long before a new record was even on the horizon. Lead single Icy Grip followed in 2025: a post-grungy stoner track with a killer chorus and a dark, heavy production, written in the shadow of personal loss. Lyrics loaded with symbolism about grief and hope, wrapped in the unmistakable Cowboys & Aliens sound. Ordinary Bliss rounds out the new material before the album closes with a full reimagining of Asteroid Blast — originally recorded for A Trip To The Stonehenge Colony back in 2000, now rerecorded, remixed and remastered. A nod to where it all began, and a quiet full circle moment on a record that feels like one.
