Citizen - Everybody is Going to Heaven (Live in Detroit) (2025) Hi-Res

Ten years ago, Citizen released Everybody Is Going to Heaven — a record that marked a bold turning point in their career. Following the breakout success of Youth, the band could have stayed the course. Instead, they doubled down on darker textures, heavier moods, and a fearless sense of experimentation.

Released in 2015, Everybody Is Going to Heaven expanded Citizen’s sound beyond their emo and post-hardcore roots, weaving in elements of grunge, and alternative rock. Tracks like “Cement” and “Stain” captured a raw, unsettled energy that explored mortality, depression, and identity with an honesty that still resonates today. It wasn’t a record built for easy listens — it was built to last.

Now, a decade later, Everybody Is Going to Heaven stands as a defining moment in Citizen’s evolution — a record that challenged both the band and their audience, and helped shape the fearless, genre-blurring artists they’ve become. As they celebrate its 10th anniversary, Citizen remains a band deeply committed to growth, refusing to be tied to a single sound or era. Everybody Is Going to Heaven didn’t just mark where they were; it lit the way for everything that came next.

On October 11th, 2025, Citizen performed the album for the first and only time in its entirety. Now, the one-time performance is available on limited-edition VHS and Cassette formats.
