NAILED SHUT MA consistently bring raw energy and thoughtful disorder to each and every performance, delivering a sonic force that pushes New England's hardcore/deathcore scene to the next level. Forming in 2022, the Boston five-piece — Asher Thomas (vocals), Joel Arnall (guitar/BGV), Mason Roth (guitar/BGV), Owen Chepow (bass), and Jake Thompson (drums) — has dropped the video for the noisy and gnarly new single "Broken & Curled."

Watch the Ian Urquhart-directed video below.

"The lyrics depict being lowered into the earth, post-death, after giving into one's internal struggles," the band explains about the thoroughly manic track. "The video spotlights this internal struggle and the loss of one's self."

"Broken & Curled" follows the equally energetic track "Devoured," which arrived earlier this year. Watch the video here.

Both songs were produced by Charlie Burket.

With punishing unconventional vocals, Asher creates depictions of bodily and psychological horror through lyricism centered around mental health awareness. The rest of the band reflects these themes musically through brutal riffs, tight drum grooves, and a gut-wrenching low end. In 2023, the band released its debut EP Lust in the End, which Idioteq described as "a surreal journey…delving into the darkest corners of the human experience."

Nailed Shut MA have performed in many iconic venues across the northeast as well as 2024's Inkcarceration Festival. Bands they have shared the stage with include All Shall Perish, Peeling Flesh, Power Trip, Kaonashi, End It, Gatecreeper and many more. Their energetic performances are sure to knock the wind out of you. With much more new music and many more shows planned for the coming months, Nailed Shut MA are here to wreak havoc into 2026 and beyond. But for now, fans of extreme metal can feast on "Broken & Curled" and "Devoured."
