Not a Drill: Skrillex Announces Release Date of First Album Since 2014, "Quest For Fire"
And just like that, a new album from Skrillex is officially on the way.
It's been almost a decade since the dubstep icon's last album, 2014's seminal debut, Recess. Its follow-up had become the stuff of myth through the years, and headlines have been running ad nauseam about when fans may finally hear it.
Skrillex has now confirmed his sophomore album, Quest For Fire, will release on February 17th, 2023.
