A Hero's Death is the second studio album by Irish post-punk band Fontaines D.C. FIRST released on 31 July 2020 through Partisan Records, less than 18 months after the release of their debut album Dogrel.
The album received critical acclaim upon its release, signifying a partial departure from their bubbling and anxiety-inducing post-punk sound found on their first record to the incorporation of more dream-like and psychedelic aspects having taken inspiration from The Beach Boys, to name but one of many influences, during the writing of the record.
