Doomsday Profit blasts humanity’s doomed repetition with scathing new single »Terror Cycle«! Lyric video premiere at Clean and Sober Stoner: “Doomsday Profit is an important band – not only to continue moving this genre forward in interesting ways, but because of the lyrics of the songs.”
Durham, N.C., July 16, 2025 – We were born into an age of endless wars, an ebb and flow of violence that has been a constant hum in the background of our lives as far as we can remember. The looming threat of war with Iran has already drawn eerie – if unsurprising parallels – to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq two decades ago.
And so as history repeats itself, Doomsday Profit offers a new song with an old theme: »Terror Cycle«.

Bassist Ryan Sweeney adds to the song’s impact with a lyric video, and notes, “For the lyric visualizer we wanted to reinforce the concept that humanity is, has been, and – unless we make a global collective effort to stop it – will always be in violent conflict with itself. The collage of public domain art, photos, and videos depicts our species’ long history of violence across the ages and across the globe. Let it be a reminder that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
Culled from Doomsday Profit’s forthcoming self-titled album, »Terror Cycle« is the record’s most overtly aggressive, with an unsubtle polemic aimed at humanity’s compulsion for violence thrust forward by stabbing riffs that add shades of noise rock, D-beat, and even surf to the band’s unorthodox brew of sludge and doom.
For the lyric video’s premiere via Clean and Sober Stoner, Reverend Fuzzcut writes: “There’s a certain sound that comes out of North Carolina Stoner Doom, and as far as I’m concerned, these cats are king of that mountain. Doomsday Profit is an important band – not only to continue moving this genre forward in interesting ways, but because of the lyrics of the songs. Considering what’s going on in the world, I can’t think of a more appropriate album to purchase this fall. This album is the Doomsday Profit you already know and love, but more. More gain, more volume, more fun!!!”
About Doomsday Profit:
There’s no time to waste. At least that’s how Doomsday Profit seems to be operating. After making their debut with the gritty stoner-sludge of 2021’s »In Idle Orbit«, the Durham, N.C.-based band issued 2024’s psych-leaning split with Virginia-based Smoke, and has kept the momentum going ever since. With their forthcoming self-titled album, Doomsday Profit now has embedded an even wider array of influences into their acerbic, dystopian sludge. Particles of monolithic doom, grisly death ‘n’ roll grooves, driving punk rock and scathing black metal all flash in the band’s raw self-titled LP.
As ever, Doomsday Profit has a finger pointed squarely at the powers that be, but they’ve also learned to turn their ire inward, and balance their vitriol with melancholic nuance. This broader approach has turned their already dynamic performances into a must-see, with a live resume that includes Hopscotch Music Festival and Seismic Summer, as well as supporting slots with established acts like Thou, The Obsessed, Black Tusk, REZN, Year Of The Cobra, and Restless Spirit.
On this recording, Doomsday Profit is: Bryan Reed (rhythm guitar, vocals), Kevin See (lead guitar, vocals), Ryan Sweeney (bass, vocals), and David Ruiz (drums).
