New York band DEADLANDS exorcise stress, anxiety, doubt, and trauma via the unforgettable melodic metalcore that defines their new EP, titled ‘SEVEN’. ‘SEVEN’, a concept EP in which each song correlates to one of the seven deadly sins, will be released on June 27th via Spinefarm. Today, DEADLANDS have shared the video for the new single ‘Limbo,’ which examines the deadly sin of lust. This is founding member and frontwoman Kasey Karlsen at her most diverse yet, mixing melodic vocals with spine-chilling growls. Watch the video here. “‘SEVEN’ explores the seven deadly sins, intricately woven into the fabric of a metalcore soundscape that resonates,” Karlsen explains about the EP. “Each track serves as a chilling personification of these ancient vices, inviting listeners into a world steeped in despair and moral decay. The goal is to hold a mirror to ourselves and deconstruct the things that breed evil in the soul.” Regarding the single and video, she offers, “‘Limbo’ describes the story of falling in love with someone who is purely using you to satisfy their own desires. The purpose of this song is to focus on the destructive aspects of lust and how it can not only hurt someone else but also lead to self-destruction whether you’re the one with the feelings or not. We’ve all had the experience of wanting to hold onto something that feels so right, even when you know it could end badly.” ‘SEVEN’ TRACK LISTING: Villain Die In Paradise MORE! Limbo Kundalini (with The Pretty Wild) Wither House Of Cards DEADLANDS are a New York-based band infusing fresh and unexpected energy into traditional post-hardcore. Founding member and frontwoman Kasey Karlsen is used to laying her cards face up on the table, as she has been writing about her toxic relationships, friendships, hardships, and current events — basically all topics that are near and dear to her heart — since she was in high school. She also draws over a million followers across platforms, thanks to her compelling content. CJ Arey, professionally known as “NO SHADE,” creates melodies for the guitar and bass while simultaneously inputting his own flare of trap and cinematic references into the production of the music. In 2024, the band headlined shows across the United States while making stops to perform at Louder Than Life, Aftershock, and Blue Ridge Festivals. Deadlands are dropping the ‘SEVEN’ EP in 2025, with tour plans on the horizon. Fans of bands like Asking Alexandria, Motionless In White, Escape the Fate, Falling in Reverse, Wage War, and Bring Me The Horizon will be magnetically drawn to DEADLANDS.
