KALAMITY KILLS continues their relentless ascent with the announcement of their self-titled debut album, Kalamity Kills (Expanded Edition), set for release September 9, 2025 on CD via their own label, PERO RECORDINGS. The announcement arrives with the release of a powerful visualizer available for hit single "Afraid" available HERE. The Expanded Edition of Kalamity Kills will feature not only new tracks, but alt. mixes as well!

Hot on the heels of their Billboard Mainstream Rock and Mediabase Active Rock success with “Starry Skies (988)”—which spent 9 weeks in the Billboard Top 40 and 12 weeks on the Mediabase charts—KALAMITY KILLS channels their uncompromising energy into a fierce anthem that demands attention.

Produced and mixed by Jamey Perrenot, “Afraid” is a bold declaration of resilience and empowerment, driven by razor-sharp guitar riffs, searing vocals, and lyrics that defy submission. Written by Perrenot and Jamie Rowe, the track introduces Julia Lauren Bullock, KALAMITY KILLS’ dynamic new bassist, whose harmonies and background vocals bring a fresh intensity to the band’s sonic identity. While Rob Bodley brings the power on drums in the live lineup, the studio version features a thunderous performance by Ray Luzier of KORN, further elevating the track’s urgency and fire.

The expanded CD edition of Kalamity Kills, which includes “Afraid” and additional exclusive material, will be available in limited quantities starting September 9. A candy apple red vinyl edition is scheduled to follow in April 2026.

About KALAMITY KILLS

KALAMITY KILLS is a hard rock band forged in the heart of East Nashville, Tennessee. Formed in 2022 by vocalist Jamie Rowe and guitarist/producer Jamey Perrenot, the band emerged from the ashes of a solo project into a fully realized sonic assault—fueled by raw emotion, modern aggression, and a deep respect for rock’s roots. With a sound that fuses the swagger of classic hard rock with the intensity and polish of modern metal, KALAMITY KILLS strikes a rare balance between power and vulnerability.

Best known for their debut self-titled album Kalamity Kills, the band quickly turned heads thanks to high-profile collaborations with members of KORN, 3 DOORS DOWN, LA GUNS, CONQUER DIVIDE, and UNDEROATH. Their music has earned national airplay on SIRIUSXM’s Octane, landed on the Billboard Active Rock charts, and crossed over into viral success without ever chasing trends.

More than just a studio project, KALAMITY KILLS is a growing force with a full live lineup, including bassist/vocalist Julia Lauren Bullock and drummer Rob Bodley. Their songs—ranging from explosive anthems to brutally honest ballads—tackle themes of faith, failure, hypocrisy, redemption, and the messy beauty of being human.

KALAMITY KILLS is for the outsiders, the misfits, the ones who’ve been burned and are still standing. Loud. Unapologetic. Unforgettable.

Metalcore band Under Auburn Skies Released the official music video for their single "Afraid."The single is from their EP titled Invention of Reasoning that released in 2021.

"Having Ronnie was very entertaining to say the least haha. When we originally sent him the lyrics and melody, he wasn’t a big fan of just copying the original melody of the pre-chorus so he gave it his own spin and it definitely helped make the lead up to the second chorus/solo a lot more climatic. It was also nice to just know that when I reached out to his manager, EJ Shannon, he originally told us that if Ronnie liked the song, he would do a feature, if not, then we wouldn’t hear back from them. So just knowing Ronnie liked the song was an exciting feeling; Considering I’ve been listening to them since the release of The New Reign, it was a little surreal to have someone like him be featured in one of our songs!" says Oscar Morales.

He adds, "As far as the lyrics pertaining to the song Afraid; It gets some influence from the game series Resident Evil but also a general realization that the planet is collapsing and we as humans are too selfish to realize that and take any sort of a gathered effort to fix it. When so much is falling around us, we still have our personal agendas that tend to take priority over the well being of our planet and society."

Brought together from the heart of Denver, Colorado, Under Auburn Skies is a 6 piece melodic metalcore band that was founded in the Fall of 2016. Their first single, "Perseverance", was released in October of 2016 and was supported by local shows and smaller regional tours. By 2018, the band had released their first EP Afterimage.

The band spent 2019 playing shows supporting the release of the record until the pandemic of 2020 shut the world down. Under Auburn Skies used the down time during COVID-19 to write and record new material.

In 2021 the band released their second EP titled Invention of Reasoning which featured lead singles "Polar Opposites" and "Afraid" feat. Ronnie Canizaro (Born of Osiris). Under Auburn Skies toured in support of this EP in March 2022 and landed shows opening for Cane Hill, Thousand Below and Afterlife.

The band has announced plans to tour again in the summer and fall finishing out the year with potentially a new record. UAS has supported bands such as Arsonists Get All The Girls, The Faceless, Like Moths to Flames, Kingdom of Giants, Phinehas, Novelists and Oh, Sleeper.
