The metalcore revival keeps swelling, and A New Day are riding the crest. The South Texas kids are part of that wave of very young bands, think I Promised The World and Holder, digging into the heavy, melodic, epic sounds of the '00s with total sincerity. Half these players probably weren't even alive when the records they worship dropped. That's the beautiful thing about it.
A New Day self-released their debut EP So Close To Perfection... last year, a scrappy, big-hearted first swing. Now they've leveled up in a major way. They've signed with DAZE, the most vital label in hardcore going right now, to announce the follow-up: Held Under An Incandescent Sky.
The lead single "This Beautiful Deception" is a genuine belter, all soaring melody and crushing weight, the kind of track that makes you believe the revival has real legs. These are the moments that build careers.
Watch this band. They're only getting started, and the ceiling looks impossibly high.
