Within Destruction to release new album “ANIMETAL” in April, premiere “CYBERGIRL” video

Within Destruction have revealed the details for their new album ANIMETAL. The record will be released on April 11 via Sumerian Records.

Pre-order ANIMETAL here. 

The group commented:

ANIMETAL is a culmination of all the stylistic experimentations that preceded it. These tracks are unapologetically authentic to the band's identity. With each album released after the band's deathcore era, we have gradually pushed the boundaries of electronics, clean hooks, and pop sensibility. Each song has a unique identity within the tracklist while retaining the band's signature heavy-core sound. In previous albums, we experimented with melodic choruses, but with ANIMETAL, they have become a defining feature of our music. Every song has its own hook and appeal, and we hope it resonates deeply with listeners.

Thematically, ANIMETAL explores a wide range of subjects, shifting between fictional, larger-than-life characters and situations, and motifs that are deeply relatable to everyday life. Heavily inspired by anime plots and protagonists, the lyrics often take on a first-person perspective, portraying the struggles these characters face. From the grim battles within one's own mind to the delusions we sometimes find ourselves lost in, and the crushing weight of the external world, we aim to create a connection with listeners through the storytelling in these tracks.

Along with the album announcement, the band have also shared an official video for their new track "CYBERGIRL."
