Xdinary Heroes to Make Comeback on April 17 with New Mini Album 'DEAD AND', Title Track 'Voyager' Narrates the Voyage of Youth
April 17, 2026
Xdinary Heroes announced their first comeback of 2026 on April 17 at 1 PM, releasing their new mini album 'DEAD AND' and the title track 'Voyager'. The release marks about six months since their previous album 'LXVE to DEATH' and is introduced as a work that unfolds a new narrative centered on the question 'What is an ending?'.
'DEAD AND' includes seven tracks, including the title track 'Voyager' and pre-releases 'X room', 'Helium Balloon', 'No Cool Kids Zone', 'Hurt So Good', 'Rise High Rise', 'KTM'. All six members again receive credits on every track, contributing to writing and composing themselves.
Ahead of the comeback, teaser contents such as an instrumental live sampler and track sneak peeks were released sequentially. In particular, the 'Voyager' music video teaser released on the 16th features a montage of colorful light intersections, Junhan drawing musical notation, and a scene set against a vast outer space, with the lyric 'it's obvious that someday everything will scatter' hinting at the song's narrative and mood.
The title track 'Voyager' expresses the will not to stop the journey even when one has reached a point where they can no longer return, using the space probe Voyager 1 as a metaphor. The members explained that the song sings of youth who believe they will shine again even if they burn brightly and disappear.
The song is expected to deliver a full-band energy with a strong synth riff, powerful drums, and driving guitars.
The members also shared their listening points. Geon-il said it's an album that includes many tracks he loves; Jeong-su said they think they can convey a variety of emotions to many people through the music; Gaon said it should truly shine on stage during live performances; Od hoped it would be an album that helps people live their lives and provides strength; Junhan described it as a work weaving together diverse genres; Ju-yeon said it's an honor to present ambitiously prepared tracks and that the album will be a source of strength for them and a source of encouragement for fans.
Xdinary Heroes will hold a showcase on the release day, the 17th, at 8 PM at Hwajeong Gymnasium, Korea University, to celebrate the comeback with fans. In May and June they will also stage a special live 'The New Xcene Special Live in Europe & UK' across Europe and the United Kingdom.
