'Ruthless Intent' is not just music; it's a manifesto. It's a blistering, no-holds-barred expression of outrage and an unwavering stand against complacency. Extinction A.D.’s latest release epitomizes the band's commitment to fusing high-octane heavy music with a message that questions, confronts, and demands change. In their own words, the band explain

“Nothing pairs better with questioning any establishment of power than a dose of pure audio adrenaline. RUTHLESS INTENT is all about taking matters into your own hands when you know your cause is just. When you combine an idea like that with an unrelenting attack of heavy music, anything is possible,”

The band released two singles from the EP prior to today's release - "Morality Bait" - a scathing evisceration of those exploiting morality for personal gain and "Prodigal Scum" - a flawlessly brutal example of the band’s no-holds- barred combination ofExtinction A.D.’s signature ruthless riffage with deeply personal themes.

“Prodigal Scum” mirrors that intensity, combining Extinction A.D.’s signature ruthless riffage with deeply personal themes. Vocalist Rick Jimenez shares:

“I’ve never been shy about my feelings of the outside world and how the broader picture of humanity affects me, but it’s not very often that I speak about my individual little world in Extinction A.D. Prodigal Scum is a full on personal life experience and something that was empowering to put on tape and also into the video."

The ‘Ruthless Intent’ EP promises four tracks of Extinction.A.D.’s signature metallic hardcore punk rock fury. Featuring previously released single, "Morality Bait" - a scathing evisceration of those exploiting morality for personal gain - along with today's release of "Prodigal Scum" and two further tracks - "Under The Hood" and "Living To Desecrate".

ABOUT EXTINCTION A.D.

For almost a decade, Long Island, New York’s Extinction A.D. have been bringing an intense and ferocious approach to metal. The frenetic energy and power of their live show is now matched on the brand new EP, 'Rutheless Intent' and the new era of the band it heralds, following the band's 2022 full length release, Culture Of Violence.

So many different worlds shaped this band; from writers like Alan Moore and George Orwell; lyricists like Wreak Havoc and Chuck D; to directors like Tarantino and John Carpenter. But musically, Extinction A.D. hook up a tube of early 90s era of metal into their veins. Not just bands like Pantera and Machine Head, but the often overlooked 90s offerings from Testament, Sepultura and Slayer.

Thrashing just as hard as their predecessors, the band also break their surroundings down and deliver some heavy as hell riotous mosh; hitting that all-important sweet spot mixture of 80s thrash, 90s extreme metal and New York hardcore, all encompassed into one.
