Peruvian rock band Club de los Poetas Muertos will release their second studio album at the end of 2026 as they prepare for international expansion.
The group capped a series of three preview tracks launched over recent months with the release of their latest single, Todos me preguntan por ti, which serves as the final promotional cut before the official album launch.
The new release marks a firm step forward for the Arequipa based musicians, who are entering what they describe as a new artistic stage in their career. The band has built a reputation as one of the most promising rock projects in Arequipa after transcending the local music scene and touring venues across Peru.
New single and sound evolution
Band members said that Todos me preguntan por ti was a track they liked very much, noting that it featured the core elements of Club de los Poetas Muertos in an amplified form. They explained that the song paired relatable, melancholy lyrics with high-energy instrumentation from the start, adding that it had become one of their most listened to tracks and most requested live songs less than a month after its debut.
The band said the new audiovisual and musical material reflects a clear evolution in the project identity. The upcoming record showcases a renewed sound alongside a fresh visual direction for the group as they transition into their next phase.
Live shows in Lima and international goals
As part of their immediate goals for 2026, Club de los Poetas Muertos plans to step up the frequency of their live performances outside their home region of Arequipa. The group is focusing its live efforts on Lima, the capital city and main hub of Peru's music industry, which serves as a crucial platform for independent bands seeking national visibility.
Alongside their expansion in Lima, the band aims to cross national borders to perform on international stages. The group reported that their fan base has already begun expanding outside Peru, prompting them to target audience growth in other countries.
Background on Arequipa rock scene
Originating from Arequipa, Peru's second most populous city located in the southern Andes mountains, Club de los Poetas Muertos has grown from a regional act into a prominent voice in Peruvian independent rock. Lima, situated on the Pacific coast, hosts the country's major media outlets, record labels, and live performance venues, making it the primary destination for regional Peruvian bands looking to build national and international careers.
A studio album represents a major milestone for independent Peruvian rock acts, who often rely on self funded singles and regional tours before compiling a full length record. By releasing three preliminary singles over recent months, Club de los Poetas Muertos followed a release strategy designed to build momentum ahead of their second full studio project.
