From the Pyre is the second studio album by the British rock band the Last Dinner Party, scheduled for release on 17 October 2025 by Island Records. It was produced by Markus Dravs and was preceded by the lead single "This Is the Killer Speaking".[1] The album is the follow-up to their critically acclaimed and award-nominated debut album, 2024's Prelude to Ecstasy.

Background and style

The album was recorded in 2025 with producer Markus Dravs. According to a press release by the band, the songs from the album "are character-driven but still deeply personal," adding that the record is intended to be "a little darker, more raw and more earthy" than their debut Prelude to Ecstasy.[1]

Promotion and singles

On 17 July 2025, the band released the lead single "This Is the Killer Speaking" alongside a music video[1] and the announcement for the album. The song, which originally debuted live at the Metronome Festival in Prague in June 2024, was described in Billboard as "jaunty" and "country-tinged".[2] The track had been previously performed under the title "The Killer".
