“This is an invite for you to explore the final settlement of human life on earth, the future of our sprawling cities and urban decay.” Essex’s own death metallers BEYOND EXTINCTION have announced the release of their long-awaited debut album and shared the anthropic title track, “Where They Gather”, and it is not for the faint of heart. The creative process of this album endured death, years of work, lineup changes and numerous setbacks. On the 26th September 2026 the result of three years of suffering and observations through the lens of nihilism is born.
On the anthropic new single and album announcement, vocalist Jasper Harmer comments:
“‘Where They Gather’ is anchored to a groove-heavy arsenal of riffs that carries much of the song’s weight, being supported by speed and precision in its more surgical elements. The deep tuned guitars are allowed to swing open and wide in this track and fully display how low and sickening this album gets. The misery and chaos of the city centred in the album’s story is portrayed by this track through an autopsy of heavy organs.”
“Visions of a metropolis pulling the life from its inhabitants, both parasite and host. Suffocating fumes join the groans of their overpopulated streets and monolithic high-rise giants. Kevlar-clad keepers of order stamp on the throats of innocent children, having turned their guns homeward once the rest of the world had burned. Cement and asphalt are fertilised by tears, sick and soot. They crawl through the avenues of their bastardised home and plead to a tired and unwilling god to fix the falling buildings and spewing drains. When all other holes, nests and hives have been chewed into unrecognisable dirt, this is Where They Gather.”
