Muertos Vivos is Gob's fifth studio album. It was released October 23, 2007 in Canada, November 27, 2007 in the United States and December 5, 2007 in Japan. It is the only album featuring bassist Tyson Maiko, who left the band in 2008.
The album's title is Spanish for "living dead". The first single from the album was "We're All Dying", which got its first radio play on June 18, 2007. The second single, "Underground", was first played on The Fox Vancouver, 99.3. The third single was "Banshee Song", released in 2009.
A song frontman Tom Thacker has originally written for this album, entitled "Panic Attack", has become the title track from Sum 41's fifth studio album Screaming Bloody Murder, which was the band's first album to be recorded with Thacker as lead guitarist.
The album cover art is a reprint of Calavera Oaxaqueña[4] by Mexican folk artist José Guadalupe Posada
