A Massive and Fierce new Single from Until Dusk Fades

If you are a fan of cinematic and thrashy metal, then you should be listening to the releases of Until Dusk Fades. You can begin that journey with the new single, "Vultures", as it delivers a great direction for the project and the artist. Still bringing on a very heavy-handed and death metal-influenced approach, but blending electronic instrumentation, delivering a track over 7 minutes in length, making it a metal opus, of sorts.

This is probably the biggest track released from the project so far and speaks volumes for how the overall sound can hit such heavy-handed textures and tones, but still have that vast and almost atmospheric underbelly throughout the entire thing.

The percussion and drumming throughout this track is absolutely intense, hits hard, and blends a speed, thrash, and death metal for something that feels slightly haunting and slightly blackened.

The guitar tones on these tracks are always fierce. They cut and slice with intense riffs, sometimes trudging, sometimes thrashing with more open chords, always with this massively intense energy that becomes quickly infectious and addicting.

You can certainly hear a ton of influences when you listen to a track like this. This is mostly because it blends a lot of different metal approaches in one track and also serves as such a sonic aggressor.

Yes, this track is quite aggressive, as a lot of death or thrash metal is, and it does so still with all the fierceness that you would expect, but again, with this combination of synthesized and electronic music introducing the track. 

There's always great attention to detail when it comes to the tones of the guitars, especially. The riffs and approaches are always performed with that high energy, and that's part of how the song gets under your skin. I mean, in a good way, of course.

This is certainly a track for fans of thrash and death metal, especially, but it also lends a hand to a more dark and edgy, again almost blackened approach too.

When it comes to Until Dusk Fades, there is normally a lot of emotion behind the songs. You can hear this in the vocals, as a lot of the time, they are fiery and intense, but the lyrics are also very personal, and a lot of the songs written come from real places.

The songs are sort of authentic in that sense.

You have multiple guitars that are tracked throughout the song, and some of them add that spaciousness with single notes or progressive performances while the chords are being played or the palm-muted trudgery is being produced. This adds a lot of layers and depth to the soundscape of the track and is a staple in the project's overall style.

This is a big track. Again, it's over 7 minutes in length, giving you plenty to soak in.

Once you do that, I would absolutely check out some of the past releases, especially the ones from this year like "Something Left Behind", "Crawl", or Invasion", all giving you some different elements and bringing that same heaviness to the table but showcasing some different production styles and approaches to the songwriting itself.

There's also an EP from 2024 called Behind Closed Doors that is pretty immense.

All of this is more than worth listening to, again, especially if you love different kinds of metal and endless, high-octane energy levels that bring out punchy intensities and gritty thrash soundscapes with melodies and spaciousness.

It's a very interesting combination of aesthetics, and "Vultures" begins to take things in a little bit of a new direction, but this is normal for the project because it's always kind of evolving.

Always taking from personal attributes and life experience, bringing in emotion and authenticity, but also moving in different directions at a certain pace so that you can hear other influences coming into play, and that the whole thing isn't really afraid to experiment a little bit. This is how you grow, this is how you evolve.

So, check this one out and then dive into some of the other releases because they're all awesome.

Turn it up and don't forget where you heard it first.
