“All Over Now” is the first released excerpt from In The End, which Noel Hogan has said will be the group’s final album following O’Riordan’s death.
The singer died aged 46 on 15 January, 2018, of accidental drowning due to alcohol intoxication. The release of “All Over Now” coincides with the first anniversary of her death.
The band had written and demoed 11 songs before O’Riordan’s death. They were determined to make it one of their best albums yet, and after O’Riordan died, her bandmates ultimately decided that releasing the record would be the best way to honour her memory.
“It was a bittersweet time,” Hogan told NME of their experience working in the studio without O’Riordan.
“The joy of recording new tracks is always exciting and one of the best parts of being in a band. At the end of every day when we’d laid down our parts, there was a sense of sadness knowing that Dolores wouldn’t be in that evening to work on that day’s track.”
The guitarist has made it clear In The End is set to be The Cranberries’ last album.
“Dolores was a massive, massive part of this band so it’s never really been a question for any of us to continue on,” Hogan told ITV on Monday.
