Beyond Extinction – announce “Three Swords” EP + share new single

Essex natives BEYOND EXTINCTION are one of the most exciting bands in UK deathcore right now and, today, they’ve announced their next wave of terror with their Three Swords EP. Due 23rd October 2026, the Three Swords EP encompasses the essence of what it means to have Essex blood running through your veins, retelling the dark history of Essex’s streets. After releasing “Witchfinder” a couple weeks’ back, BEYOND EXTINCTION are back with “A Dark Sickness (Three Swords)”.

“A Dark Sickness (Three Swords)” tells the story of the black death sweeping through our county to the backdrop of slam on slam, breakdown after breakdown, crafted into a lethally concise dose. BEYOND EXTINCTION, much like this plague, will be sweeping down on crowds during their busy touring schedule from September 2026 into March next year. Down-tuned and crawling out from the sludge, this is Essex Death.

On the inspiration of the new track, vocalist Jasper Harmer explains:

“’A Dark Sickness (Three Swords)’ is one of the most exciting and intense tracks we’ve ever put together. By layering our heaviest influences on top of each other, I feel we’ve shown a different weapon in our arsenal and in a live setting this one whips the crowds into gear and then lets the classic low and slow speak for itself. The uncompromising and in-your-face core of this track mirrors its story, watching the black death plague scythe through the medieval populations of Colchester, Chelmsford and Maldon leaving half of all the men, women and children dead in the Essex dirt.”

Submerged in dark and murky history, the time has come for BEYOND EXTINCTION to spew forth a new gospel of awe and terror, this time pulled from the pages of our own history books. Dragged from the most repulsive stories ever to have occurred on Essex soil, the Three Swords EP is a collection of songs harnessing the horror in the Essex mud. Where the land in the east gives up mercy, the Witchfinder begins killing. Tens of thousands die from plague. Horror and violence from the rivers. All of it held forever in the marshes. This is BEYOND EXTINCTION reaching depths more evil than thought possible.
