Nu-metalcore band UNCURED release single ‘Mask Of Sanity’

Musicians paying homage to their influences is a story that has been around for decades. Every so often, an artist combines their influences and creates a new genre that defines their specific art and vision. This is what Uncured – the New Jersey quartet comprised of Rex Cox [vocals], Zak Cox [guitars], “King Z” Zachary King [drums], and Betto Andrade [bass] – have created with a genre they have affectionately dubbed ‘Nu Metalcore’.

This is apparent on their first single ‘Mask Of Sanity’ – now available via all digital service providers – from their upcoming 2025 debut EP Warpath. The track is full of memorable melodies and thought-provoking lyrics that encapsulate the lens through which Uncured view the world.

“We describe our sound as ‘Nu Metalcore’,” state Uncured. “It combines the raw energy, power and aggression of 2000s metal with the huge hooks, catchy choruses and brutal breakdowns of today’s metal scene to deliver an intense, new experience.”From the driving intro of ‘Mask Of Sanity’ to the epic outro of ‘Perfect Specimen’, the Warpath EP showcases the sound that has been developing from Uncured since they started working on it in 2023. It was this sound and lyrical ideas that would capture the attention of platinum-selling producer David Bendeth (Bring Me The Horizon, I Prevail) and convince him to work with the quartet. Songs like ‘Manifesto’, ‘Crucify’ and ‘Bleed Me Dry’ are the perfect companion pieces to introduce Uncured to the world. The result is a memorable EP that will lead to a full length album in late 2025.

The tracklisting for the Warpath EP is:

Uncured will be hitting the road throughout 2024 to bring Warpath and their Nu Metalcore sound to the masses. The band will tour across the USA this summer to promote the song, playing the Main Stage at Inkcarceration, along with Rock Fest and the Metal Injection Festival.
