The new year saw the band play the monumental SUMMER OF HARDCORE and supporting crossover thrash legends DRI in Wellington. Standover headlined HALLOWEEN HARDCORE 2024 and appeared at October's Foundation Fest in Hamilton along with a string of other shows across the country in 2024. In 2025 the band signed with extreme music label Gutter Prince Cabal for the release of Standover's highly anticipated studio album. Ten rage fueled vitriolic tales of human desperation, psychological collapse, betrayal and revenge. In a world where all strength, will and resolve is choked and crushed from humanity, violence remains the final frontier of personal defiance… …When a clenched fist is no longer an option.
