Los Angeles-based alt-rock artist TX2 has released his debut album End Of Us via Hopeless Records, a 13-track project built like a rock opera and designed to hit as a complete story, not just a playlist of singles. The album features collaborations with Black Veil Brides, Magnolia Park, Ice Nine Kills, DeathbyRomy, and Ekoh.
TX2 frontman Evan Thomas describes End Of Us as a rock opera structured around “The Resistance,” the final survivors in a world devastated by a vampire holocaust, and says the singles released ahead of the album were meant to function like chapters that build the larger arc. He also frames it as something bigger than aesthetics, calling it a reminder to his community that “they cannot erase us.”
The focus track, “Die Alone,” is positioned as the emotional core of the album, and it makes sense in the context of how TX2 has built his career so far. He has spent the last decade building one of heavy music’s most polarizing and devoted fanbases, and instead of trying to outrun that friction, he has used it as fuel. The numbers back it up with 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 1.3 million TikTok followers, and massive streaming momentum before the album even dropped, making TX2 a case study in what it looks like when an artist turns internet pressure into real traction.
End Of Us pulls together previously released singles including “The End of Us” featuring Black Veil Brides, “Murder Scene” featuring Magnolia Park, “HOSTAGE (they will not erase us),” “The Rain,” “Feed” featuring DeathbyRomy, and “Nice Guy” featuring Ekoh, and it fills in the gaps with new tracks that complete the narrative. Sonically, Thomas describes the project as “punk meets vampire-core with an Eminem edge,” and even if you do not buy the label on first read, the intention is clear: big hooks, high emotion, and a visual world that leans into horror inspiration from “Resident Evil” and “Silent Hill.” He self-directed the music videos alongside guitarist Cameron Rostami, and the project feels designed to live across audio, visuals, and culture all at once.
That community piece matters here because TX2 has built the X Movement, a Discord-based mental health community that functions as a safe space for fans who feel like they do not belong. As an openly queer artist who refuses to sanitize his advocacy, he has become both a target and a lifeline, and the album’s message leans directly into that reality rather than skating around it.
TX2 is already taking End Of Us on the road with a U.S. headline run this month, then heading to Australia with Rain City Drive in March, returning to the U.S. to support Black Veil Brides, and then continuing into a major European festival run including Download Festival.
