Swarming with sonic haymakers, looming melodies, sharp narratives and astonishing dexterity, today Melbourne’s The Gloom In The Corner ascend into a brand new era with the release of their hotly-anticipated new studio album Royal Discordance, out now via SharpTone Records.
A record that could readily soundtrack an Anime epic, a Netflix smash series, or a sprawling open-world game, Royal Discordance is certainly not your average metalcore album.
Insatiably showcasing The Gloom In The Corner‘s relentless pursuit for sonic evolution, recorded in 2024 with producer Jonathan Delese in Nashville, Tennessee, Royal Discordance ushers in some of Gloom‘s most universal songs to date, all while remaining true to their chaotic core in the process. Whether channeling My Chemical Romance and positivity or penning pit-splitting breakdowns, The Gloom In The Corner balance their tumultuous creative DNA with an album primed for multiple revisits, while also devoutly treading new ground.
“Our next chapter fully encompasses what Gloom is and does, tailored and fitted to all means,” shares the band. “A little bit of royalty, a whole heap of chaos, showcasing not just the characters and their identities at their highest and lowest, but also ourselves.”
Accompanying the album’s release today is also a brand new visualizer for That’s Life (Carry Me Home).
