| Today, TO THE GRAVE, the world’s preeminent vegan deathcore band, proudly unleash their new track, ‘LIFE AMONG THE SEPTICS‘, the fourth single taken from their upcoming BLKIIBLK debut album, LIBERATION FRONT, set for release on 2nd October. The new single arrives alongside an official music video, available to view below. On the new single, bassist Matt Clarke shares:
“This song was us leaning hard back into the same influences as our ‘Director’s Cuts’ album. It’s got all those elements in it: bouncy riffs, some fast stuff and just lots of dynamics. We’re looking forward to playing this one on the upcoming tours…that start today. Australia now, North America in two weeks! “For the video, we wanted to do something a bit different to the other performance videos. We got a bunch of our mates to come down and hang with us. We did something that’s somewhere between serious and fun.” Listen to ‘LIFE AMONG THE SEPTICS’ here

| Since forming in 2010, TO THE GRAVE have become one of Australia’s most uncompromising heavy exports, earning acclaim for crushing releases including Global Warning, Epilogue, Director’s Cuts, and 2024’s Everyone’s a Murderer. Armed with a singular mission to confront animal cruelty and environmental destruction through some of modern metal’s most punishing deathcore, the Sydney outfit have forged a reputation for pairing unrelenting heaviness with fearless activism. Their live assault has taken them around the globe alongside Lorna Shore, Thy Art Is Murder, Shadow of Intent, Carnifex, Oceano, and more, with Revolver hailing them as “one of the country’s heaviest exports” and Distorted Sound calling them “one of the most intense, enthralling bands the genre can offer.” Now, the band returns with LIBERATION FRONT, their fifth album and BLKIIBLK debut, a statement of pure intent. Brutal and uncompromising in both sound and message, TO THE GRAVE transform their death metal-infused assault into a vehicle for activism, raging against animal cruelty and environmental destruction while delivering their most direct and fully realized work to date. From the breakdown-laden opener ‘MEAT THE HUMANS’, LIBERATION FRONT marks a ferocious return to the band’s deathcore roots. While recent releases leaned further into hardcore, the new album embraces deathcore at its most savage and relentless. Vocalist Dane Evans comments about the album:
“‘LIBERATION FRONT’ was born as a concept on tour last year in Australia after we decided we wanted to make the sequel to ‘Director’s Cuts.’ What came out was something between that and a more pissed off brother to ‘Everyone’s A Murderer.’ It’s got so many things I love about the band and a bit of everything pushed to 100 with a really bleak kind of aggression that’s just reaching for your throat the entire time. Very keen to play some of these songs live and it’s an exciting chapter to add.” Pre-order LIBERATION FRONT here |

LIBERATION FRONT is more than an album; it is a musical and lyrical call to arms, designed not only to rage against the machine but to educate, provoke, and challenge listeners on every level. Combining their most savage deathcore material to date with an unwavering commitment to animal liberation and environmental activism, LIBERATION FRONT stands as TO THE GRAVE‘s definitive statement: fierce, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore. As Evans puts it, “this is our way of establishing order. The band is built around our way of doing things and to me this title is just waving that flag. These songs are about direct action, open rescue, abolition and liberation by any means necessary.” BAND MEMBERS
