SUFFER UK RELEASE "SOUL FROM FLESH"

PRESS RELEASE:

Wolverhampton’s groove-laden slamming deathcore heavyweights, Suffer UK, have officially announced the release of their eagerly awaited new EP, 'Soul From Flesh', set to drop on 7th August 2026 through Arson Theory. Ringing in a definitive new era for the five-piece, the EP showcases a fresh, revitalised lineup and serves as a brutal statement of intent for the year ahead.

Formed in late 2018, Suffer UK quickly established themselves as a force in the UK metal scene, making their live debut in 2019 supporting Annotations of an Autopsy. Over the last five years, the band has released a string of singles, the Heavy Silence EP, and their full-length album The Sorrow We Sow, The Hatred We Know, while touring the UK and Europe alongside heavy hitters like Decapitated, Black Tongue, Signs of the Swarm, and Gutrectomy. Now in their "third chapter," Suffer UK is primed for their biggest year yet.

Following the addition of vocalist Greg Hevican and guitarist Klaudiusz Trzebuniak, the band signed with DC Sound Attack for all bookings and hit the ground running with a series of successful live shows. The EP's debut single, "Pendulum of Vengeance," exploded onto the scene on 13th March 2026, amassing over 20,000 streams across all platforms. The title track and second single, "Soul From Flesh," was released on Friday 29th May 2026.

Soul From Flesh, Track-by-Track Breakdown

Pendulum of Vengeance is a crushing exploration of the human obsession with revenge. The track dives into the psychological cycle of retaliation, symbolised by a swinging pendulum that guarantees a continuous loop of vengeance before peaceful resolution is ever considered.

Self Immolation is raw, aggressive, and macabre, this track uses the metaphorical purging of one's own skin to express an obsessive need to transcend to a higher state of being. It continues the EP's core theme of transitioning from one stage of life to another.

Soul From Flesh is the title track and second single. It tackles the heavy themes of abandonment, anxiety, and imposter syndrome. Influenced by real-life events, it is an anthem for those who understand that fresh starts require ultimate sacrifices.

Desolated Dreams serves as the EP's closing statement, this deeply personal track blends black metal influences with deathcore. It explores regression, disconnection, and the realization of how the relentless pursuit of achievement can cloud reality, turning dreams into nightmares.

The EP features music entirely written and composed by Suffer UK, with vocal-driven, hard-hitting lyrics penned by frontman Greg Hevican and drummer Jack Kent. Bringing the sonic devastation to life, Anthony Wall of Firestorm Studios handled the initial recording and mixing, while Will Cattanach at Freewill Productions took charge of tone creation, final mixing, and mastering. The release is visually completed by the brutal, striking artwork of Blindsight Visions.

BAKKEN RELEASE "CONSENT TO DECEPTION"

PRESS RELEASE:

Ireland heavy metal outfit Bakken return in full force with their long-awaited third studio album, Consent To Deception, officially out now.

Formed in 2011, Bakken have built their name the old-school way, grinding it out DIY, playing loud, and letting the music do the talking. Their breakout debut Death of a Hero (2012) put them on the map, followed by the hard-hitting This Means War in 2020, cementing a loyal global following drawn to their high-energy, politically charged brand of thrashy power metal.

Now in 2026, the band deliver what they call their most ambitious and unfiltered record yet.

Blending the precision of classic heavy metal with the speed and bite of thrash metal and the soaring melodies of power metal, Bakken continue carving their own lane. Fans of Judas Priest, Metallica, and Helloween will feel right at home, but don’t expect a copy-paste job. This is sharper, louder, and more personal.

Band Statement

“It took six years, 1000s of recording tracks, a very patient producer, huge amounts of work, masses of unnecessary drama, we’re barely alive, our partners are barely talking to us, but we think we’ve managed to create a genre-less heavy metal masterpiece. (But that could just be the fatigue talking)”

About the Band

Bakken describe themselves as thrashy-power metal with a mission, combining relentless energy with politically charged lyrics focused on positivity, peace, and respect for all living things. Or in their own words, “grab a beer and celebrate the glory of heavy metal with us.”
