Avralize Unleash A New Single

September 14, 2025

Germany's metalcore force AVRALIZE are entering a new era with their sophomore album liminal, set for release on November 14 via Arising Empire. Following the breakout success of their debut FREAKS, which earned over 5.5 million Spotify streams, the band has already unveiled "upside down," "helium," "wanderlust," "close to you," and "medicine."

Now they return with the crushing new single "bite my tongue."

About the track, the band shares, "'bite my tongue' is a song that embodies the tension we all carry inside – that battle between what we feel and what we’re able to say out loud. It's about the weight of holding back, the pressure that builds up when you bury emotions, and the way it can twist you up until you finally explode. The riffs, the grooves, the heaviness — it all mirrors the choking on your own words and the relief that comes when you finally let it all out. For us, 'bite my tongue' isn't just another single — it's a statement. It's us showing another side of AVRALIZE: Groovier, sharper, but also deeply human. If you've ever felt like you were drowning in the things you couldn't say, this one is for you."

With liminal on the horizon, AVRALIZE are proving once again why they are one of Germany’s most exciting heavy acts — unafraid to evolve, unafraid to hit harder, and ready to define the next chapter of modern metalcore.

Chaotic Hardcore Newcomers APOSTLE Shares Lyric Video for New Song "Wrung," New EP 'Liminal' Out NOW

December 19, 2023

Blackened atmospheric chaotic hardcore newcomers APOSTLE are now celebrating the release of their new EP, 'Liminal,' which is out today via Terminus Hate City Records! The band is now sharing a lyric video for the pummeling new song, "Wrung," which can be found below.

The EP can now be streamed or downloaded via Bandcamp, Apple Music, + Spotify while fans can purchase it HERE.

Apostle's vicious new offering is fueled by the collective prowess of guitarist and vocalist Murice White, bassist Michael Thomas, and drummer Evan Price. Apostle breaks new ground with 'Liminal,' citing many diverse influences, and crafting a sonic landscape that defies categorization.

Murice White's guitar work is a fierce force, delivering textured riffs that traverse the extremes of aggression and beauty, while his seething vocals add a visceral layer to the record's tapestry. Michael Thomas's groove-laden low end provides a solid backbone, grounding the compositions in a rhythmic foundation that is both formidable and infectious. Evan Price's propulsive batterie propels the music forward, adding a kinetic energy that keeps the violent angst front and center.

From the unrelenting chaos of grindcore to the ethereal tremolos of atmospheric black metal, 'Liminal' embarks on an audacious exploration of the outer reaches of metal's vast spectrum. The warm undertones of shoegaze interlace with a robust foundation of melodic hardcore, providing a dynamic and immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of conventional metal. While hosting audible beauty, there is deep and profound pain throughout the record.

Chaotic Hardcore Newcomers APOSTLE Unleash Vicious New Song + Video, "Pain"

November 18, 2023

Blackened atmospheric chaotic hardcore newcomers APOSTLE are now unleashing their vicious new single, "Pain," along with a lyric video! The single is taken from the band's upcoming EP, 'Liminal,' which is due on December 15 via Terminus Hate City Records! The clip can be found below.

The band comments, "'Pain' was the first track we began working on when we set out to write what would become 'Liminal.' As with every track on this release, they were all written in our rehearsal space, during rehearsal - making the writing process one of total collaboration and the environment as conducive for organic flow states of creativity. We wanted these songs to be straightforward in their arrangements and delivery and we didn’t want to fixate, overindulge or totally run parts into the ground. Rather, we wanted the movements to be quick and intentional, keeping things dynamic and driving."

Pre-orders are now live for 'Liminal' HERE.

In addition, APOSTLE will be performing two hometown shows before the end of the year. The full run is as follows:

Upcoming Apostle U.S. Dates:

11/17: Atlanta, GA @ Bogg’s Social and Supply (JabroniFest)
