Sweden's melodic death/industrial metal trio Against I, which has recently posted the album's first single, "Bound In Blood", has now revealed the tracklisting and cover artwork for its upcoming album, Song For The Dying, due on 29 November.
Song For The Dying picks up where Destruction Lullaby - released in May 2024 - left off. The album offers lethal doses of aggressive and melodic death tinged with shades of industrial and atmospheric metal.
Against I was founded in 2022 by Fredrik Keith Croona known as vocalist and founder of Cynical Existence and ex-vocalist of Menschdefekt. Together with Mathias Back (guitars) and Anders Ström (drums), they fuse elements of metal and hints of electronic parts into a cacophony of aggression and melodies.
In 2023 the band released its debut album, Carnival Of Excess, on Advoxya Records. 2024 saw the release of two EPs, Perfect Smile and, the aforementioned, Destruction Lullaby, which took the band in an entirely new direction. Link
