Under A Dying Sky” is the latest single from British death metal collective, AS THE WORLD DIES. The track comes by way of the band’s upcoming second studio album, Nebula, set for release on March 21st via Reaper Entertainment.

Following the success of their previous single “Dark Oblivion,” “Under A Dying Sky” continues to showcase AS THE WORLD DIES’ signature fusion of heavy, melodic riffs and apocalyptic storytelling. The track is a brutal yet thought-provoking journey, blending relentless death metal aggression with atmospheric synths and progressive elements.

Band leader Scott Fairfax (Memoriam, ex-Massacre) comments, “‘Under A Dying Sky’ is a defining moment for us. It captures the essence of what AS THE WORLD DIES is all about – an intense, cinematic experience wrapped in brutal, crushing death metal. We wanted to push the limits even further, and this track is just a taste of what’s coming with Nebula.”

AS THE WORLD DIES is a relentless force in the UK death metal scene, spearheaded by guitarist and songwriter Scott Fairfax. Known for his work with Memoriam, Massacre, and Benediction, Fairfax brings decades of experience to the table, crafting an unparalleled blend of crushing riffs, symphonic darkness, and cosmic devastation.

Nebula is a gripping journey through the realms of crushing death metal and cosmic mysticism. Fairfax explains, “This album is the quintessence of what AS THE WORLD DIES is all about. We pushed our musical boundaries to create something both brutal and thought-provoking. It’s heavier, darker, and more profound than anything we’ve done before.”

The album dives into themes of apocalyptic prophesies and human insignificance, epitomized by the looming presence of the asteroid Apophis, a key inspiration behind the band’s cosmic death metal sound. Adding a progressive touch with atmospheric ‘80s synths and a haunting industrial edge, Nebula expands the boundaries of the genre while maintaining its relentless death metal core.

Written and recorded primarily in Fairfax’s studio Riff Central, Nebula is a testament to his singular vision and expertise. With a noteworthy resume featuring bands like Memoriam and Massacre, Fairfax delivers an album that is as musically intricate as it is thematically profound. “Atmosphere is everything to me,” he notes. “Songs must tell a story; otherwise, they’re just a collection of riffs.”

The latest single, “Dark Oblivion,” is a tour de force showcasing the band’s signature blend of heavy, melodic riffs and apocalyptic storytelling. With its brooding atmosphere and devastating impact, the track serves as a chilling anthem for the end times.

Nebula is set to challenge and redefine death metal conventions with its fusion of raw aggression and thoughtful composition. Mixed and mastered by Anthony Wall, the record promises to be an unforgettable chapter in the band’s journey.
