Published on 09/29/2026 at 12:46 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSVan Halen will reissue A Different Kind of Truth on 23 October 2026, bringing the band’s final studio album back into print. The release covers CD and vinyl formats.
A Different Kind of Truth returns in two formats
The band’s official website lists the 23 October 2026 release as a return to print. It names CD and a 2LP set pressed on 180-gram vinyl. The double gatefold package is part of the standard vinyl presentation, while a limited crystal-clear edition will be offered through participating independent retailers.
Release format details are joined by label information from Van Halen News Desk. Its Rhino release details specify new lacquers cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering.
How the album connects Van Halen eras
The album is tied to a specific Van Halen line-up. David Lee Roth appears with Eddie Van Halen and Alex Van Halen, while Wolfgang Van Halen is identified as the bassist.
That combination links a release led by Roth’s vocals to the band’s later recorded history. The CD and gatefold 2LP place the record’s return in both archival and collector formats. The reissue therefore connects the band’s studio catalogue with a physical release designed in two distinct editions.
Track details on the returning studio album
The vinyl track list includes Tattoo, She’s The Woman, Blood And Fire, Stay Frosty and Beats Workin’. Other named tracks include China Town, Bullethead, As Is and Outta Space.
The release also includes Big River and Beats Workin’ among the songs listed for the two-record set. New lacquers and the double gatefold design give the vinyl edition its main physical specifications.
