AXTY announce new album ‘The Pain Made Me Who I Am’

AXTY have announced a new album!

The emerging Brazilian metalcore force have confirmed that their new full-length album The Pain Made Me Who I Am is set for release on August 21st, 2026 via Napalm Records. The record arrives as the follow-up to a breakout year for the band, which has included major support runs with BORN OF OSIRIS and currently LACUNA COIL and ESCAPE THE FATE.

Alongside the album announcement, AXTY have released a new single titled end this, which serves as the album’s closing track and is accompanied by an official music video. The new song follows previous singles selfish, fragile, and dismay, all of which will appear on the new album.

Speaking about the new single, the band shares, “one of the most pessimistic moments on the record, this track serves as a closing statement that encapsulates the album’s overarching emotional arc. end this portrays a character shaped by accumulated trauma, depression, and intrusive, self-destructive thoughts. Themes that unfold progressively throughout the release. Positioned as the final track, the song leans into a sense of exhaustion and finality, reinforced by the recurring line ‘please end this,’ while subtly subverting its own premise in the opening verse: ‘so here we go again, another song about how I hate myself.’ Musically, it stands out as one of the heaviest and most sonically challenging pieces on the album, featuring its most dissonant chorus to date. This deliberate stylistic contrast mirrors a state of dissociation, culminating in a drifting, almost delirious reflection captured in the line: ‘why try so long here if all we touch will rot and sear’.”
