NEVER ENDING GAME have announced a new album!

Titled Outcry, the sophomore album from the Detroit hardcore band follows their 2019 debut full-length Just Another Day and their 2021 EP Halo & Wings and is scheduled to be released in May this year via Triple B Records.

The album was produced, recorded, and mixed by Andy Nelson at Bricktop Recording and mastered by Brad Boatright at AudioSeige. It seeks to build off the band’s life in Detroit – from lyrics to influences to imagery – while exuding a general feeling of hopelessness and optimism at the same time.

Speaking about the upcoming album and the band’s roots, vocalist Mikey Petroski comments, “Detroit is everything to the band. I wouldn’t write the way I do if we came up anywhere else. From the influence of how to structure a song growing up hearing Motown, the emotion of a BOB SEGER song on a summer’s night on the radio, and the value of honest hard work. There’s decades of influence from all that’s come before us out of Detroit in our band’s DNA. We have bands like NEGATIVE APPROACH and COLD AS LIFE from here that paved the way for someone to even want to pay attention to a hardcore band coming out of Detroit. There’s a sense of pride that people from Detroit carry that’s unlike most other places. We try to wave that flag as much as possible and pay it all forward.”

Alongside the announcement of the album the band have released two singles, Memories and Never Die, the latter of which features guest vocals from TRAPPED UNDER ICE‘s Justice Tripp and guitars composed by Sam Trapkin.
