White Reaper have dropped a deluxe edition of their latest album, Only Slightly Expanded.

Out now via Blue Grape Music, the release builds on 2024’s Only Slightly Empty, adding a selection of bonus material including recent single Need and two previously unreleased tracks, Mold and No Counter. Both new songs blend the band’s signature crunchy guitars with a hooky, melodic edge.

Originally created in the face of label changes, creative struggles and lineup shifts, Only Slightly Empty saw White Reaper channel a turbulent period into a sharp, high-impact rock record. Self-produced by Tony Esposito, Ryan Hater and Hunter Thompson, and recorded with engineer Joey Oaxaca, the album leans into ’90s alternative influences while maintaining the band’s core power-pop punch.

With Only Slightly Expanded, White Reaper continue to push that sound further, adding fresh material that sits comfortably alongside the original record’s energy.
