FATES MESSENGER UNLEASH NEW SINGLE
Copyright: press
Southern England metalcore band Fates Messenger have released a new single titled ‘Doomloop', out now via Greyline Records - a newly formed independent label spearheaded by frontman Tony Maddocks.
"'Doomloop' is a sonic gut punch dripping in groove, it zeroes in on the way governments and corporations continue to fuel global conflict, not to resolve it, but to extract wealth from suffering. The track is both personal and political, capturing a sense of exhausted fury at watching history continue to repeat itself, like the horrific events we’re seeing across the globe.” - Fates Messenger
The outfit is also set to unleash their highly anticipated EP Eternal War on 22 August via Greyline Records - a newly formed independent label spearheaded by frontman Tony Maddocks.
This brutal six-track reckoning, forged from decades of experience in the UK’s underground metal and hardcore scenes, sets a new benchmark for contemporary metalcore. Eternal War delivers a groove-laden, unrelenting assault that is as conceptually harrowing as it is sonically punishing.
Drawing from the ashes of seminal UK bands Above All, Romeo Must Die, and Stampin’ Ground, Fates Messenger re-emerged in late 2023 with the ferocity of veterans and the hunger of a new breed.
Recorded by the band themselves, mixed by Stu McKay at Studio 6 (Desolated, Malevolence, Ingested), and mastered by Scott Atkins at Grindstone (Cradle of Filth, Sylosis), the new EP showcases Fates Messenger at their most uncompromising. Tracks like ‘Hellstorm,’ ‘Doomloop,’ and a thunderous cover of Marauder’s “Master Killer” surge with crushing riffs and venomous precision. Title track ‘Eternal War’ features a searing guest appearance from Tim Williams (Vision of Disorder / Bloodsimple), while closer ‘Bonechapel’ brings in Al Llewellyn for a final gut-punch of collaborative fury.
Following the success of their single ‘They Walk Among Us’ - accompanied by a cinematic video directed by Shaun Hodson (Loki Films) - the band made a thunderous live impact supporting UK avant-garde legends Earthtone9 at a packed Black Heart in London.
