Ex Lives is the sixth full-length release from metalcore band Every Time I Die released March 6, 2012 on Epitaph.[10][11] Josh Newton left the band five months after the recording, and was replaced by former bassist Stephen Micciche for touring.[12] They have released videos for "Underwater Bimbos from Outer Space" and "Revival Mode". "Underwater Bimbos from Outer Space" was directed by vocalist Keith Buckley.[11]

On January 25, 2012 Epitaph began posting a series of videos to YouTube offering viewers a behind the scenes look into the making of Ex Lives.[13]

On February 22, 2012 a music video was released for the song "Revival Mode". Keith Buckley offered the following on the video: "We worked with director Robert Schober who has done incredible work for Mastodon, Deftones, Metallica and now, us. The clip has a very ambiguously creepy David Lynch vibe to it and might be the first time we've never included a single one of our instruments in lieu of a story line that exists outside of us as members of a band. It's dark and weird and while not completely adhering thematically to the lyrics, it sets a larger, broader mood which marries the song perfectly."

Director Robert "Robo" Schober adds, "The video is a surrealist crime drama set on a lost highway...the story loosely interprets key phrases from the song...the guys were awesome and put up with many hours of freezing temperatures in the middle of the desert."[14]

"Ex Lives" debuted on the Billboard 200 at #20 selling around 14,300 copies.[15] This is their highest charting position to date.
