Undeath Sign to Relapse and Release New Song

Relapse Records Debut and "Arterial Bombardment"

The signing brings Undeath to the roster of Relapse Records, a label often described as custodians of heavy music. To celebrate the new partnership, the Death Metal outfit released "Arterial Bombardment" on October 7, 2026. The track was engineered, mixed, and mastered by Colin Marston, whom the band described as a "mad genius." Bassist Tommy Wall is credited as the mastermind behind the composition.

Frontman Alex Sason provided insight into the creation of the new single and the band's mindset following the signing in an official statement:

"Today it's our pleasure to share 'Arterial Bombardment' with you. After signing with Relapse, we knew we had to come out swinging, and a track full of non-stop riffing, blasting, death metal sickness seems like the perfect way to do so. Our bassist Tommy Wall masterminded this song, the mad genius Colin Marston engineered, mixed and mastered it, and we believe it serves as an excellent appetizer for what's to come from this next chapter of UNDEATH. We hope you dig what you hear and we can't wait to show you what else we've got in store for all of you."

— Alex Sason

According to a press release, this new single serves as an appetizer for a full-length follow-up to the band's 2024 album, More Insane. The upcoming record is currently scheduled for release in 2027.

Extensive Touring and European Carnage

The release of the new single coincides with a major international touring cycle. The band's Southern and Eastern European tour alongside Suffocation, Ingested, and Eternal is scheduled to kick off on Thursday, October 8, 2026. This tour will run through October 28, taking the band across multiple territories before they transition into a series of headline performances.

Beginning October 30, 2026, the group will continue what has been described as "European carnage" with 11 headline dates. These shows will take place across Italy, Germany, and the U.K., and will include a high-profile appearance at Damnation Festival's "A Night Of Salvation."

To conclude the year, the band will return to their home state for two sold-out performances in New York. These shows are set to take place at the venue Saint Vitus, where they will perform alongside their new labelmates, Pig Destroyer.

Rise to Underground Infamy and Critical Success

Since their formation in Rochester, New York, in 2018, the group has established itself as a significant force in the extreme music scene. Their trajectory began with early releases that showcased a "gory, wild-eyed splatter" style, specifically found on "Demo '19" and "Sentient Autolysis."

The band's debut full-length album, Lesions Of A Different Kind (2020), received fervent acclaim from both fans and the press. This was followed by the 2022 successor, It's Time... To Rise From The Grave, which achieved Billboard-charting status and caught a wave of acclaim on TheNeedleDrop's YouTube channel. That album also earned the "Best New Music" designation from Pitchfork and was named the number one album of 2022 by Decibel magazine, which also featured the band on a cover story. Their most recent album, More Insane, was released in 2024 to continued praise.

The band's reputation has been further solidified by their live presence. They have logged more than 250 shows to date, sharing stages with prominent acts such as Exodus, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Suffocation. Their festival resume is equally extensive, including performances at various international events:

• Decibel Metal & Beer Fest (U.S.)

• Milwaukee Metalfest (U.S.)

• Copenhell (Denmark)

• Into The Grave (Netherlands)

• Download (U.K.)

• Damnation (U.K.)

In addition to their collective success, individual members have received industry recognition. Guitarist Kyle Beam currently has a signature model with Dunable Guitars, known as the Skeletonizer.
