That said, some unexpected digital housekeeping recently caught fans&#8217; attention.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, December 19, <strong>The Damned Things<\/strong>&#8216; track &#8220;Trophy Widow&#8221; quietly appeared on digital streaming platforms for the first time. In addition, a limited-edition 7\u2033 vinyl has been released via guitarist and vocalist <strong>Joe Trohman<\/strong>&#8216;s website.<\/p>\n<p>The vinyl pressing is limited to just 250 copies and features an intriguing detail: the B-side is listed as &#8220;File Missing.&#8221; No additional information has been provided regarding whether that track contains new material or is simply a placeholder title.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trophy Widow&#8221; isn&#8217;t a brand-new recording. The song originally appeared in 2011 as part of the soundtrack album for the video game<em> Batman: Arkham City<\/em>. That compilation featured exclusive tracks from a wide range of artists, including <strong>Daughtry<\/strong>, <strong>\u2020\u2020\u2020 (Crosses)<\/strong>, and others. Until now, the song had not been widely available on streaming services, making its sudden arrival notable.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the re-release, there&#8217;s no indication that <strong>The Damned Things<\/strong> are actively working on new material or planning a return. With <strong>Anthrax<\/strong> preparing for a new album cycle in 2026 and vocalist <strong>Keith Buckley<\/strong> currently focused on <strong>Many Eyes<\/strong>, the timing suggests that this release is more about archival availability than signaling renewed activity.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Trophy Widow\" width=\"880\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hFNWh9gClY4?feature=oembed\" frameborder allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zox-post-body left zoxrel zox100\"><strong>Want More Metal?
