Out Now! DIRTY SHIRT'S New Album "Dirty Thirty (The Best Of)" - 30 Years of Folkcore!

Romanian folkcore metal innovators Dirty Shirt proudly announce the release of their new album "Dirty Thirty (The Best Of)," arriving June 26th, 2026, on digital platforms, limited double‑CD digipak, and vinyl. The career‑spanning collection celebrates more than 30 years of one of Eastern Europe’s most distinctive and genre‑defying metal bands.

Featuring 30 tracks that chart Dirty Shirt’s evolution from their earliest recordings to their most recent material, and two new singles, “FOMO” and “Büntető” from the band’s upcoming studio album.

The anthology draws from every era of the band’s discography, including:

Very Dirty (2000) – 1 track (newly re‑recorded version from Pandemic Special)

Same Shirt Different Day (2010) – 2 tracks

Freak Show (2013) – 4 tracks + orchestral “Away”

Dirtylicious (2015) – 7 tracks

Letchology (2019) – 7 tracks

Get Your Dose Now & Pandemic Special (2022) – 7 tracks

Several early‑era songs have been newly remastered by longtime sound engineer Adrian “Bila” Urițescu. At the same time, the album’s artwork, created by internationally acclaimed artist Costin Chioreanu, continues a creative partnership now spanning more than 13 years. The project was partially funded through a successful 2025 crowdfunding campaign and features contributions from over 40 musicians.

​Keyboardist/guitarist Mihai Tivadar reflects on the milestone:

“Dirty Shirt became much more than a band. It became a family… This album is a celebration of everyone who has been part of these thirty years.”
