Pearl Jam has premiered a new live video for “Wreckage,” taken off the band’s latest album, Dark Matter, which dropped in April. Wreckage hit #1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, along with the first release and title track “Dark Matter” – marking the first time Pearl Jam has accomplished consecutive No. 1’s on the chart.
The video for “Wreckage” was filmed during Pearl Jam’s May 16th concert in Las Vegas during the first leg of their 2024 U.S. tour. It features some of the band’s unique tour visuals created by famed creative and fellow Seattle native, Rob Sheridan (who’s previously worked with Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails, and notable director David Fincher).
Dark Matter, Pearl Jam’s 12th studio album, recently crossed 100 million streams, debuting in the Top 5 on the Billboard 200 and also scored No. 1 on five Billboard charts simultaneously – Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, Top Alternative Albums, and Top Hard Rock. The band has also now tied for most No. 1 albums in Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums chart history with eight.
Pearl Jam will resume their tour in support Dark Matter on Aug. 22 in Missoula, Montana. Check out the video for ‘Wreckage’ – here.
