Australian deathcore juggernauts To The Grave have released their third full-length album, 'Everyone’s A Murderer,' today via Unique Leader Records. The album drops alongside their incendiary new single "Made In Aus," a track that exemplifies the band’s unrelenting power and commitment to exposing harsh truths. Stream the full album now HERE and watch the official music video for the "Made In Aus" below.
"Made In Aus" is a visceral declaration, a sonic battlefield where the band's fury is unleashed through brutal riffs and their signature, unflinching lyrics.“Wall to wall chaos in this one. Once you start caring about animals, people you thought were good-hearted will show true colours and defend violence they could never commit with their own hands,” shares vocalist Dane Evans on the new single.
'Everyone’s A Murderer' is To The Grave’s most intense offering yet, both sonically and thematically. The album confronts societal and environmental atrocities with the band’s signature blend of deathcore brutality, giving voice to the voiceless through a sound that is as punishing as it is purposeful.
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.
Our idea for this album evolved so much before it started but we knew we wanted something that sounded classic, like it was from a different decade entirely. It had to have all the elements that brought us all towards deathcore all those years ago combined with all the modern touches you'd find in the recent TTG material, all whilst trying to do something new and step outside our comfort zone in the process.
It was cool to work with the new lineup on the gritty details like production, tones and getting the energy of the drums down. Once the album was in a listenable state these guys really gave it all personality and brought everything to the table to shape this new sound.
We're very critical of ourselves as artists and have made music in the past that for whatever reason we haven't loved. With that in mind I think the overall goal with this record was to make something that regardless of what anyone else thought, we were proud of and I'm happy that we all had that shared vision in mind.
We probably had the most fun making this record that we've ever had and it felt liberating to be able to make something that we liked. It felt like starting the band from new again and only having the pressure of wanting to write cool shit.
The singles are tough as fuck and I think do a good job of representing the blunt force approach on the album leaving a tonne of surprises in the sharps bin for when people pick it up on release day. That should make sense when it drops."
To The Grave’s release of 'Everyone’s A Murderer' is just the beginning. The band is set to dominate stages worldwide, starting tonight with a very special album release show at Stay Gold in Melbourne with support from No Life (NZ) & Identity Error and Saturday, followed by a second album release show tomorrow at The Lansdowne with support from No Life (NZ) & Facecutter in Sydney. They will then hit the US in September and October supporting deathcore legends Oceano. After that, they will join Veil of Maya, Signs Of The Swarm, and Varials for the Faces of Death Tour across the UK and Europe in October and November. They then return to Australia for a series of sold-out shows with Lorna Shore and Bodysnatcher in 2025. For further info and tickets head to tothegraveau.com

ABOUT TO THE GRAVE
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.
