Collide with the Sky is the third studio album by American rock band Pierce the Veil, released on July 17, 2012.
According to vocalist and rhythm guitarist Vic Fuentes, "The theme to the album artwork is 'jumping off of the ground that is breaking beneath you.' The idea is to inspire hope amongst the chaos that may be happening around you. If the ground was breaking beneath your feet, your first reaction may be to run and jump to safety, and it's that moment where you are suspended in the air that I am focusing on. A still frame where you're not sure if the person is falling or flying. It's about freeing yourself from the things that are breaking or falling apart in your life, and inspiring a sense of hope from the desperation."
It is the band's first release on Fearless, as their previous two albums were released on Equal Vision. It was made available for pre-order through Merchnow on June 6, 2012. The release of the album is supported by the band touring as part of the 2012 Vans Warped Tour throughout July and August, as well as their first ever headlining UK tour in September. The album's first single, "King for a Day", was released on June 5, 2012. It features Kellin Quinn of Sleeping with Sirens as a guest vocalist. "Bulls in the Bronx" was chosen as the second single and released on June 26, 2012. On August 6, the band released a music video for "King for a Day". On December 21, "Hell Above" was released as a single, along with a live music video.
The album entered the U.S. Billboard 200 at number 12, selling over 27,000 copies in its debut week. The album has sold over 120,000 copies as of May 2013. As of March 2016, the album has sold nearly 350,000 copies. In October 2016, the album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over 500,000 units.
