Unto Others will release new album Never, Neverland on September 20 through Century Media Records.
“Mana and Strength can almost be pushed together,” Gabriel Franco says on how Never, Neverland differs from its predecessors.
“I had an iron grip over those albums. Every beat needed to be where I wanted it and how I wanted it to sound. With this one, I took a much looser approach and gave the band members a lot more input.
“This is the first record with Brandon doing backup vocals instead of myself. Even though I still wrote the core of the songs, this one is a much more collaborative effort. I kind of let go of it because I realized it was killing me. And the record came out better for it. It’s the best thing we’ve ever done.”

Momma Likes the Door Closed

Light Grey – Nightm@res
Light Grey will release album Nightm@res on September 13 through Never Meant Records.
“Almost everyone has experienced insomnia at some stage in their life. We wanted to write an album that encapsulates the feeling of desperately wanting to go to sleep, but you can’t for a myriad of reasons. All of us relate to the songs on Nightmares, and we feel like others will understand too.” says Ciaran.

Allt – From the New World

Allt will release debut album From the New World on October 4 through Century Media Records.
The band said: “We are beyond excited to finally announce our debut album, From The New World. This album is the product of two years of hard work, writing, world-building, and growth, and on October 4th, it will finally be yours to enjoy.
“When we started working on the album, we were struck by how the world seemed on edge, with all these tensions and fears about the future. So, we got into the idea of exploring what happens after everything falls apart. Each track is its own story, showing different sides of loss, hope, and that stubborn spirit that keeps people pushing forward.
“The album has got a cosmic twist, too. We were drawn to the Fermi paradox, that big question of why it feels like we’re alone in the universe with all these stars and planets. The album asks if we can still connect and if there’s room for human bonds in an upside-down world.
“What makes this album truly unique is the time we spent isolated in a cabin deep in the forest. This retreat allowed us to immerse ourselves in the creative process, away from distractions and surrounded by the quiet of nature. From The New World is a journey, and we’re inviting everyone to join us.”
Tracklist:
A Flash of Light

“The album is heavily inspired by many books and horror films with a nod to classic tropes of the deathcore genre.”

The Gift
Caged For Extermination
