Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs is the tenth studio album by American punk rock band Alkaline Trio, released on Rise Records. It is the band's final album with longtime drummer Derek Grant, who departed during the mixing process. Produced by Cameron Webb, who had previously worked with the band on its previous album, Is This Thing Cursed? (2018), the album was recorded at Studio 606 and is the band's first release through Rise Records. Its almost six-year gap from Is This Thing Cursed? (2018) will mark the longest between two albums from the band to date. The album was preceded by the singles "Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs", "Bad Time" and "Versions of You". Its recording marked Skiba's return to the band as a full-time concern, after seven years as a member of both blink-182 and Alkaline Trio. Writing together in the studio, the band sought to create a "special" body of work to celebrate its tenth album release. Vocalist/Guitarist Matt Skiba and bassist Dan Andriano were inspired by what they referred to as "apocalypse culture," and how bad news in modern culture creates so much fear in people. “Without sounding trite, it’s the way that we get our information now through social media. There’s always been good and there’s always been horror, but it feels like the horror hits our doorsteps much quicker these days. It gives people the feeling that things are escalating horribly.” - Matt Skiba
