In a somewhat surprising move, Righteous Vendetta dropped an old/new album on June 20th, 2020. "Not Dead Yet" is an album that was apparently rejected by their label at the time (2015), but has now been released by the band independently. "We recorded it in 2015, right when we signed with Century Media. We recorded the album, we had it mixed/mastered, all of it was done. They got the album back and the label was like, 'We absolutely hate this record; you're doing another one.' That's why it took us four years to release a new record. We scratched that entire record, and that's where Cursed came from. Cursed was the product of them hating that record. We've been sitting on it since 2015. We've released a couple of singles from it, like 'Kill the Lights,' and then three songs from it came out on our re-release of Ignite the Fire Inside, which they made us take down when we signed the record deal.
There are still 11 songs that never came out. We weren't going to release them. We were sitting at home and COVID hit, and we were like, 'Dude, let's just release them. Let's just do it. It's done; they paid for it. It's free money for us, free music for everybody else' (laughs)."
