Beautiful Death is the third full-length studio album by American rock band Slaves, released on February 16, 2018, by The Orchard and SBG Records. The album serves as a follow-up to the band's second studio album, Routine Breathing (2015) and is the group's first release since their departure from Artery Recordings.

The album produced four more singles, "True Colors", "Patience Is the Virtue", "I Know a Lot of Artists", and "The Pact". The band embarked on the Beautiful Death Tour in September and October 2017 in the United States.
As of February 21, 2018, the album has charted internationally in five countries on the iTunes Charts: the US (#5), Australia (#11), Canada (#22), Britain (#30) and Germany (#64).




Background


Slaves released their second studio album, Routine Breathing (2015), and toured in support of the album for two years. In 2016, following the release of a music video for the song "Winter Everywhere", featuring Tilian Pearson, the video was taken down by their former label, Artery Recordings, which caused controversy between the band and label. "Our music belongs to us, and it belongs to our fans,” they wrote. “Not some dude in a suit collecting every cent we generate. We have worked HARD for everything we have and it's time to take a stand against CORRUPT bullshit labels like Artery and so many alike.” In March 2016, the band's guitarist Alex Lyman announced his departure from the group following their U.S. tour with Capture the Crown, Myka Relocate, Outline In Color, and Conquer Divide. Two weeks later, Slaves revealed they would break-up. Despite this, in May 2016, the band confirmed that they did not break-up and were reuniting with a new line-up.
On January 20, 2017, the band released the single "I'd Rather See Your Star Explode". Due to sexual allegations against frontman Jonny Craig, Artery Recordings decided to part ways with Slaves. The band announced that they had signed with The Orchard and SBG Records in early 2018.
