The Killers have announced a new best-of compilation album, Rebel Diamonds, set for release on December 8th via Island.
Rebel Diamonds will pull together a total of 20 tracks across all the studio albums in The Killers’ discography, from Hot Fuss to Pressure Machine. What’s more, it’ll boast a brand new song called “Spirit,” which press materials describe as an “anthem ready to be sung at festivals across the world.”
In addition to their greatest hits like “When You Were Young,” “All These Things That I’ve Done,” “Human,” and, of course, “Mr. Brightside,” Rebel Diamonds will also feature some deeper cuts that the band also consider essential to their catalog, like “Be Still” and “Dying Breed.” Arranged in chronological order, the record is a useful tool in reflecting on the band’s evolution over the years.
“See it’s been said that what’s remembered lives,” lead singer Brandon Flowers says in a promo clip for the album. “And we’ve racked up stadiums full of memories the past twenty years, enough to fill lifetimes. Twenty songs for twenty years – Rebel Diamonds.”
Pre-orders for Rebel Diamonds are ongoing. See its trailer and tracklist below.
The Killers’ Brandon Flowers recently appeared on an episode of Kyle Meredith With… to discuss the future of the band and a possible solo record. The Killers’ last studio album was 2021’s Pressure Machine.
