TO THE GRAVE release new single ‘DxE or Die’ from Everyone’s a Murderer

Everyone’s A Murderer is TO THE GRAVE‘s heaviest and most evolved offering yet, both sonically and thematically. The album attacks societal and environmental themes with the relentless intensity the band are known for, giving voice to the voiceless via their unique, signature blend of brutally impactful deathcore. Providing further insight on the new album, Evans shares:

“For this record my aim was to speak through the faceless activists that fight for animals, for those living in vystopia feeling alone and helpless in a world that will fight tooth and nail to defend the animal holocaust. Due to it being illegal to rescue farmed animals from abuse these activists must stay silent about it to avoid having their own freedom taken.

It wasn’t an easy task, it’s never going to do justice to the horrors animals go through every day by the millions in cold, dark sheds around the world or to those that have witnessed it and are doing everything they can to put an end to it. There’s no words, no lyrics and no music that can describe the violence or bring back the lives stolen by human hands, so this is for them.”

One of Australia’s most uncompromising bands, TO THE GRAVE garnered international success with their 2019 debut album Global Warning. The caustic five piece have continued to collect international success, with 2021’s follow-up Epilogue, a re-issue of Global Warning with bonus tracks, their 2023 album, Director’s Cuts along with it’s subsequent Deluxe release, which featured a new collection of tracks on the Offcuts EP solidifying their position as “one of the country’s heaviest exports.” (Revolver).

TO THE GRAVE have steadily built an audience in the underground, accumulating more than 11 million Spotify streams, racking up over 5.4 million YouTube views, all whilst decimating live audiences alongside Parkway Drive, Polaris, Cattle Decapitation, Thy Art Is Murder, Shadow of Intent, Angelmaker, Enterprise Earth, Vulvodynia and Alpha Wolf.

Now, following a sold-out national headline tour in 2022, global critical acclaim for the release of Director’s Cuts and it’s Deluxe release, featuring the Offcuts EP and plenty of upcoming tours, the band are more focused than ever.

TO THE GRAVE lyrically expose a societal and environmental hell on earth whilst pushing the boundaries of accessible extremity, full of barbed hooks, thick with atmosphere and drenched in groove. Razor-sharp guitars played with an exploratory approach – blending everything from whammy pedal squeaks and chiming cleans to death metal chainsaw tones – are entwined with live drums to give a level of dynamism that musically sets this band apart from the extreme metal pack, yet they maintain the weight of the heaviest bands today. Vocalist Dane Evans commands a multifaceted performance, bursting with vocal energy from throat-ripping dissonant screeches to low end gutturals.
