Day of the Dead is the fourth studio album by American rap rock band Hollywood Undead. Originally set to be released October 2014, Day of the Dead was released March 31, 2015, on Interscope Records.[2]

Singles and promotion

To promote the new album, the band will embark on the Album Release tour, beginning March 9, 2015 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and ending on March 30 in Los Angeles, California. Fans that purchase tickets will have access to a digital download of the album (including every single released before the album's arrival). Prior to the release of the first single, it was hyped up through social media websites such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. On October 21, 2014, the first single from the album, "Day of the Dead", was released through Revolver Magazine.[3] The name of the album was also revealed, being the same as the single.

It was announced that the album would be available for preorder on February 17, along with the release of the second song from the album, "Usual Suspects".[4]

The single called 'Gravity' was released on February 23.[5] Leading up to the new CD's release, the band would unveil five new tracks from the album every Tuesday, which began with "Usual Suspects" on February 17.[6] March 3 being an exception, where instead the band was to release the music video for "Day of the Dead". However, it was delayed to March 17, 2015 and several song samples were released March 7.

"How We Roll" was released as a single on March 9, a day earlier to make up for the delayed release of the "Day of the Dead" music video which was released on March 16. After "How We Roll", their songs were released on Mondays "Live Forever" on March 17, and "Disease" was released as a single on March 23. "War Child" was released on March 27.

The band released songs every week beginning with Usual Suspects. Additionally, they put a band member's new mask on the artwork for each single with Johnny 3 Tears on Usual Suspects, Danny on Gravity, J-Dog on How we Roll, Funny Man on Live Forever and Da Kurlzz on Disease.

The band also did an album release tour throughout the month of March in the US, culminating back home in Los Angeles on March 31.
