Hidden Gems & Guilty Pleasures: Lifeless Dark (USA)

Lifeless Dark (Crust Punk/Death Metal/Thrash Metal, USA)

Lifeless Dark is a crust/death/thrash metal from Boston, Massachusetts. Featuring members of Innocent, St. Ripper, Animal Mother, Blank Stare, Bloody Gears, Chain Rank, Combined Effort, Confines, Exit Order, Failures, Green Beret, Permaculture, Positive Reinforcement, Social Circkle, Bygone, Devil’s Dare, Stone Dagger, Mind Eraser, Death Evocation, Magic Circle, Born In Hell, Mentally Challenged, No Tolerance, Prisoner Abuse, Put To Death, Soul Swallower & World War 4.

Lifeless Dark delivers their debut LP »Forces Of Nature’s Transformation«, released on December 10th, 2024 via Side Two Records. Building on the foundation of their 2018 »Who Will Be The Victims?« demo tape – revisiting two tracks from that release – this album intensifies their blend of metallic UK punk and raw early thrash metal. Think classics like Sacrilege’s »Behind The Realms Of Madness«, Hellbastard’s »Heading For Internal Darkness« and Disattack’s »A Bomb Drops…«.

Ten tracks that oscillate between ambitious progressive structures and stripped-down chaotic ferocity, »Forces Of Nature’s Transformation« captures the collapse of 21st-century empires in stark, unrelenting detail. This album is entirely self-produced by the band; recording (mixing/mastering) and artwork (original woodcuts).

Recorded from 2021-2024 by Ryan & CC at Side Two & Paincave. Mixed and mstered by Ryan at Side Two. Artwork by Elaine & Jeppy.

Now available on 12” vinyl, cassette and digital via Side Two Records, »Forces Of Nature’s Transformation« is both a continuation and evolution of Lifeless Dark’s vision – a soundtrack for the inevitable unraveling of the modern age.
