Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Announce 20th Anniversary Box Set For Howl Featuring 5 Previously Unheard Tracks For January 2026 Release

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (BRMC) is exciting fans by releasing a special box set to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their important album, Howl. This deluxe edition will be available on January 30, 2026, through [PIAS]. It offers a nostalgic look at an important time in the band’s history and includes five new tracks that both longtime fans and newcomers are sure to enjoy.

When Howl was released in 2005, it showed a big change for BRMC. The band moved away from the electric guitar sound that their fans were used to. Instead, they tried a simpler style influenced by folk blues and gospel music. This brave move highlighted the band’s ability to try new things with their music. The album successfully tapped into the authentic emotion of Americana and showcased a more mature side of their musical development.

Critics noticed this change. SPIN praised the album for simplifying its sound to provide a more thoughtful and genuine musical experience, comparing it to Bruce Springsteen’s reflective songs. NME agreed, describing Howl as an emotional expression that beautifully combined country, folk, and gospel influences.

The 20th-anniversary edition of Howl is coming out in different formats for everyone’s taste. The Deluxe Box set offers a rich experience, while the double vinyl LP and single CD provide simpler options. Fans can expect this special release to honor an essential BRMC album and include new, unreleased content. As excitement grows, it will remind listeners of Howl’s bold style and lasting influence.
