From the arid wilds of the Mile High State, Suicide Cages are back with a pummeling four-part sermon from the high pulpit of metallic hardcore. Inspired by metalcore’s early-aughts heyday, the band’s new EP “Mother of Thousands” fuses kinetic, rhythm-centric songwriting with alternating hits of complexity and chaos, crafting an experience that is at once visceral and cerebral. Sharp, angular riffs give way to churning igneous grooves while frontman Devin Rombough delivers a scathing indictment of humanity’s most egregious failures. It is both a revival and a visionary prophecy — a clandestine communiqué from our checkered past and a definitive statement on our collective future.
Recorded by Felipe Patino at Denver’s own Green Door Recordings and expertly mastered by Fit For an Autopsy’s Will Putney at Graphic Nature Audio, this new EP captures the energy and vitality of the band’s live show while delivering a clear, concise statement of purpose. Referencing heavy hitters like Botch, Coalesce, Converge, Zao, and the Dillinger Escape Plan, the band aims to revive the passion, urgency, and inclusivity of metalcore’s classic era — a time when the violent collision of metal and hardcore birthed an entirely new world of possibilities. Having appeared onstage with a diverse array of heavy artists such as Better Lovers, Filth is Eternal, Unsane, Greyhaven, Slapshot, Norma Jean, Go Ahead and Die, The Burial Plot, and Native Daughters, the quartet are carving out a unique space in the heavy music community for those who crave the passion and intensity found at the potent nexus of metal and hardcore.
With feet planted firmly in the past and eyes looking toward the future, Suicide Cage are proselytizing the unconverted and preaching gospel to the faithful. With their fervent congregation growing by the day, their message is simple: Have Fun. Give a Fuck. And always remember: Suicide Cages loves you.
