END REIGN makes their Relapse Records debut with their explosive album, The Way Of All Flesh Is Decay. Masterminded by underground music fixture Domenic Romeo (Integrity/Pulling Teeth/A389 Recordings) and featuring an all-star cast of musicians and contributors, END REIGN fuses apocalyptic hardcore with vicious metal in a deadly collision of the classic and the modern.
Taking musical inspiration from 80s linchpins Amebix, Bathory, Slayer and Cro-Mags, END REIGN features the talents of Mike Score of New York metalcore kings All Out War, Adam Jarvis of grind titans Pig Destroyer and Misery Index, the former Bloodlet bassist Arthur Legere and Exhumed/Noisem shredder Sebastian Phillips.
Scores lyrics explore the psychological torment of being trapped between opposing realities. Most of the album, especially songs like The Hunger and Death Comes Crawling, deal with being caught between two worldsthe living and the dead, heaven and hell, what was and what is to come, the vocalist explains.
Recorded over a year at Landmine Studios with Len Carmichael at the helm, END REIGNs full-length debut features vocal cameos from Romeos longtime collaborator and Integrity bandmate Dwid Hellion, Full Of Hells Dylan Walker andincrediblyEd Ka-Spel from avant-rock fabulons The Legendary Pink Dots.
The result is one of 2023’s most aggressive and enthralling albums. This album is like riding a rollercoaster in a theme park based on all the extreme music Ive enjoyed throughout my life, Romeo says. I hope that any fans of our musical family tree will enjoy the ride as much as we did.
