After a fifteen-year hiatus marked by life-altering challenges and a hard-fought recovery, the legendary Social Distortion returns with their eighth studio album, Born To Kill.

The road to Born To Kill was shaped significantly by frontman Mike Ness’s 2023 battle with Stage 1 tonsil cancer. Co-produced by Ness and veteran producer Dave Sardy, and recorded at the historic Sunset Sound, the record features 11 tracks that Ness describes as "pure, unadulterated rock ’n’ roll fury."
