Slovenian metal trailblazers Within Destruction announced today that they have inked a brand new deal with globally renowned independent label, Sumerian Records, marking a significant milestone in the band's career. To celebrate this monumental signing, the band has unleashed a blistering new single, "Demon Child," accompanied by a high-octane music video shot on location in Tokyo, Japan, a visual feast, particularly for fans of sports cars and Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift.

Vocalist Rok Rupnik delves into the inspiration behind the track, sharing, “Before I even started writing lyrics, I’ve listened to the song a couple of times and immediately knew the final words of the chorus would be 'Demon Child,' which also ended up being the title of our second single. The lyrics dive into the nature of a love-hate relationship, where one would rather embrace a passionate turmoil over a mundane life.”
Guitarist Howard Fang and drummer Luka Vezzosi add, “We’ve had a lot of fun during the preproduction of the song which is getting released pretty much in the initially envisioned idea. This time we went with a fast-paced song built around a catchy singalong chorus with a blegh breakdown as a cherry on top. The only funny thing about this song is the fact that it was supposed to be without a breakdown, but while we were in the studio tracking the song, we found a place for it at the last minute and we think it works really well.”
