Having released their self-titled debut album last June — which also climbed onto Finland’s official physical albums chart — Kneel Before The Death now unveil their highly anticipated new single, “The Weight of Truth.” The track simultaneously launches a new chapter in the band’s saga.
‘The Weight of Truth’ is possibly our favorite track from our catalog so far. The song is built around a beautiful yet massive melody that also forms the core of the chorus. With this release, we wanted to push our sound in a more aggressive and electronic direction. We drew inspiration from hard techno and incorporated sharp, high-frequency elements to create an intense and chaotic atmosphere.
Jonathan Dolese, who mixed the track, did an outstanding job bringing our vision to life by blending the extreme heaviness of deathcore with elements of electronic music.
Kneel Before The Death have spent the beginning of the year largely on the road. Their Finnish shows have included support slots for Austrian deathcore outfit Spire of Lazarus, and the band is already eagerly anticipating the biggest festival summer of their career so far.
2026 has kicked off at full speed in the KBTD camp. We have several spring shows in support of our debut album, culminating in major festival appearances next summer at Tuska and Nummirock. Our debut landing on the Official Finnish Charts and the sold-out album release show were true highlights of last summer. However, our focus is firmly on the upcoming body of releases, which we’re extremely excited about. 2026 will continue right where we left off last year — big things are coming for Kneel Before The Death!
