Til The End (Melodic Death Metal // Greece / Finland / USA)
With their widely acclaimed debut EP »Dark Kings«, Til The End made an impressive entrance into the melodic death metal community last year, immediately winning over a broad audience. The band now takes the next major step… A self-titled record on Lifeforce Records. A clear statement: an expression of confidence, artistic determination, and an unwavering focus on what matters most – the music. And the music speaks for itself.
Founded in 2023, the lineup brings together four musicians firmly rooted in the international scene: vocalist Antony Hämäläinen (Nightrage, Armageddon), guitar virtuoso Kostas Sotos, drummer Márton Veress (Orgy, Armageddon), and bassist/rhythm guitarist Nic Svensson (Slaves For Scores). Til The End is their shared vehicle to pay tribute to the legendary Gothenburg sound while simultaneously pushing it forward with modern energy and a contemporary artistic vision.
In the tradition of early works by icons such as At The Gates and In Flames, Til The End embraces a raw, authentic, and handcrafted approach. Songwriting and musicianship clearly take center stage, which is also reflected in the organic, punchy production. In doing so, the band not only honors their influences but also shapes a distinct, modern identity of their own.
Til The End’s self-titled debut album was released on September 11th, 2026 via Lifeforce Records and is available now as CD digipak and digital. Order / stream »Til The End« HERE.
