To Hell and Back builds on a run of singles that sketch out the album’s expansive, cinematic world. Breakout track “The Juice” first put Des Rocs on the map at Rock Radio, pairing snarling riffs with swaggering, blues-soaked grooves and a razor-sharp vocal delivery - earning a Top 10 spot and a national Nissan commercial placement. He followed with “This Land,” a towering, arena-ready anthem featured as the theme for Borderlands 4, driven by stomping rhythms, searing guitar lines, and a sense of widescreen intensity that earned his second Top 10 at Rock Radio. Elsewhere, “When The Love Is Gone” earned praise, with RockSound raving the track “embodies everything that is sensational about rock and roll.” Most recently, “The Riders of Red Hook (Legends Never Die)” arrived as a surprise release, unfolding as a gritty, mythic slow-burn that was featured prominently during the UFC 326 broadcast for Holloway vs. Oliveira.
"This record is about anyone who’s ever been knocked down and gotten back up”, explains Rocco. “It’s for the people who keep goin’, even when it feels like the world’s against them. To Hell and Back is for the fighters, the dreamers and the survivors. This record is the culmination of everything I've ever done. It's all those years of struggle wrapped up into one sonic battle cry. None of this music would've been possible without riding the roller coaster of tryin’ to make it in a band outta NYC."
