Within Destruction announce new album ‘ANIMETAL’

WITHIN DESTRUCTION have announced a new album!

Titled ANIMETAL, the upcoming album from the Slovenian deathcore band is the follow-up to 2022’s Lotus, and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Sumerian Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band shares, “ANIMETAL is a culmination of all the stylistic experimentations that preceded it. These tracks are unapologetically authentic to the band’s identity. With each album released after the band’s deathcore era, we have gradually pushed the boundaries of electronics, clean hooks, and pop sensibility. Each song has a unique identity within the tracklist while retaining the band’s signature heavy-core sound. In previous albums, we experimented with melodic choruses, but with ANIMETAL, they have become a defining feature of our music. Every song has its own hook and appeal, and we hope it resonates deeply with listeners.

Thematically, ANIMETAL explores a wide range of subjects, shifting between fictional, larger-than-life characters and situations, and motifs that are deeply relatable to everyday life. Heavily inspired by anime plots and protagonists, the lyrics often take on a first-person perspective, portraying the struggles these characters face. From the grim battles within one’s own mind to the delusions we sometimes find ourselves lost in, and the crushing weight of the external world, we aim to create a connection with listeners through the storytelling in these tracks.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, WITHIN DESTRUCTION have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Cybergirl. The new song is the third single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Demon Child and Kanashibari.
