LABOR XII is a hard-hitting rock band whose music confronts the darkest corners of the human experience with honesty, aggression, and purpose. The band first connected with a global audience through their debut release, a live acoustic version of “M;RROR M;RROR,” a song written as a battle cry for those struggling with suicidal thoughts and for those who have lost loved ones to suicide. That emotional directness has remained a defining thread throughout their work and live shows.

Built on the strength of their performances, LABOR XII has opened for and supported major national and international acts including Incubus, Third Eye Blind, Badflower, Black Stone Cherry, PLUSH, Buckcherry, Butcher Babies, Psychostick, HED PE, and Powerman 5000, earning a reputation for intense, cathartic sets that resonate long after the final note.

Their debut album MONSTERS explored the personal battles faced by each band member and was mixed and co-produced by Evan Rodaniche (Powerman 5000, Lacey Sturm, Escape the Fate). The Wayne Static memorial track “The Monster Within” featured programming by Ken Jay Lacey (Static-X), further cementing the band’s connection to the modern hard-rock and industrial scene.

LABOR XII is now preparing to release their second full-length album, Gunpowder & Death, slated for Q2 2026. The record dives headfirst into themes of emotional and physical abuse, channeling anger, survival, and defiance into their most focused and confrontational work to date. The first single, “Eviscerate,” was released in December 2025, marking a bold new chapter for the band.
