The Used has announced their eighth studio album, “Heartwork.” The album is set for release on April 24 on Big Noise.

In addition to the album announcement, the band released a new single, “Paradise Lost, a poem by John Milton,” which is their second single from the upcoming album. It followed “Blow Me,” featuring Jason Butler.

Bert McCracken, the lead singer, is very inspired by Milton’s work, so there are odes to him in the music video.

John Feldmann returns to The Used by producing “Heartwork.”

The Used are now on a sold tour with Dragged Under.
