Nylist unleashes ruthless new single “Breathe” ahead of concept album “Rebirth”

Canadian solo deathcore project Nylist has released a new single, “Breathe”, delivering a dark, downtempo hit that leans into suffocating grooves and bleak atmosphere. The track arrives as part of the artist’s multi-chapter concept record “Rebirth”, which closes the long-running “Origins” era.

“Rebirth” lands as a double LP concept with physical vinyl and CD shipping in mid November 2025, while the digital release follows on January 9, 2026. Because the album ties together story threads from earlier releases, “Breathe” serves as another puzzle piece in a narrative that blends deathcore intensity with cinematic mood. Preorders and album details are highlighted across Nylist’s official channels.

Musically, the new single hits slow and crushing, therefore pushing Nylist’s sound further into bleak, downbeat territory. The rollout also places “Breathe” among the “Fire” chapter of the record, which connects to the album’s elemental concept. In addition, today’s New Music Friday listings confirm the single’s arrival.

For listeners new to Nylist, the project is the brainchild of Canadian multi-instrumentalist and producer Fred Nylist, who has steadily built a catalog that fuses deathcore, metalcore, and ambient textures. Earlier releases and press coverage outline his one-man approach and evolving vision, which “Rebirth” now brings to a close.
