From The Pyre is the second studio album by British rock band the Last Dinner Party, released on 17 October 2025 via Island Records. Produced by Markus Dravs and mixed by Alan Moulder, the album was preceded by the singles “This Is the Killer Speaking”, “The Scythe” and “Second Best”. The project follows their critically acclaimed and award-nominated debut album Prelude to Ecstasy (2024). Work initially began in late 2024 with producer James Ford, but after his departure for health reasons the band regrouped and recorded the album in 2025 with Dravs at the helm. The band described the songs as “character-driven but still deeply personal”, and said the record is intended to be “a little darker, more raw and more earthy” than their debut. Musically and thematically, From the Pyre weaves together baroque pop, art rock and theatrical storytelling, with lyrical imagery ranging from rifles and scythes to saints and floods, exploring transformation, conflict and rebirth in a mythic allegory they call “The Pyre”.
