Today, To The Grave, the world’s preeminent vegan deathcore band, proudly unleash their new album, “LIBERATION FRONT”, out now via BLKIIBLK. Celebrating the release, the band also launches their new single, ‘LIMB FROM LAMB‘, alongside a music video, available to view below.
On the new single, bassist Matt Clarke comments:
“LIMB FROM LAMB was the song that probably changed the most in the recording process. Until it was done, I wasn’t sure it would even make the cut for the album. It really took Dane’s lyric arrangement and vocal delivery to make it shine. It’s a bit of a change of pace from the previous singles, this one is slow (for us), brooding and heavy.
“For the video we leaned heavily into the horror movie imagery. Our music and visuals have always been inspired by horror and this was a chance to be really obvious with one of our favourites. It’s always made sense for us to connect this kind of inspiration to the real-life horror we address in the lyrics.”

Since forming in 2010, To The Grave have become one of Australia’s most uncompromising heavy exports, earning acclaim for crushing releases including “Global Warning”, “Epilogue”, “Director’s Cuts”, and 2024’s “Everyone’s a Murderer”. Armed with a singular mission to confront animal cruelty and environmental destruction through some of modern metal’s most punishing deathcore, the Sydney outfit have forged a reputation for pairing unrelenting heaviness with fearless activism. Their live assault has taken them around the globe alongside Lorna Shore, Thy Art Is Murder, Shadow of Intent, Carnifex, Oceano, and more, with Revolver hailing them as “one of the country’s heaviest exports” and Distorted Sound calling them “one of the most intense, enthralling bands the genre can offer.”
Now, the band returns with “LIBERATION FRONT”, their fifth album and BLKIIBLK debut, a statement of pure intent. Brutal and uncompromising in both sound and message, To The Grave transform their death metal-infused assault into a vehicle for activism, raging against animal cruelty and environmental destruction while delivering their most direct and fully realized work to date. From the breakdown-laden opener ‘MEAT THE HUMANS‘, “LIBERATION FRONT” marks a ferocious return to the band’s deathcore roots. While recent releases leaned further into hardcore, the new album embraces deathcore at its most savage and relentless.
Vocalist Dane Evans comments about the album:
“‘LIBERATION FRONT’ was born as a concept on tour last year in Australia after we decided we wanted to make the sequel to ‘Director’s Cuts.’ What came out was something between that and a more pissed off brother to ‘Everyone’s A Murderer.’ It’s got so many things I love about the band and a bit of everything pushed to 100 with a really bleak kind of aggression that’s just reaching for your throat the entire time. Very keen to play some of these songs live and it’s an exciting chapter to add.”
