Beyond Unbroken’s latest effort is poised to be their most diverse and ambitious work yet, featuring a dynamic mix of rock, metal, alternative, and pop punk influences and features a contribution from enigmatic rap vocalist Whitney Peyton. The album’s lead-up has been marked by a string of powerful singles, each showcasing the band’s ability to traverse and innovate across multiple genres. Destruction takes inspiration from everything from the TV show YOU, horror movies, life experiences, old-school digital Gameboy lead sounds inspired by video games like Pokémon and Donkey Kong, incorporating real finger snaps, a nod to Michael Jackson's iconic use of the technique in “Oceans” to Hans Zimmer’s work on Interstellar for “Lost and Broken.”
As Destruction looms on the horizon, Beyond Unbroken continues to explore the human experience through their unique blend of genres. “Oceans” is a unique departure from their typical heavy sound, fusing elements of pop with alternative rock. “The Madness” a brutal hard rock deep dive into the dark recesses of our own mind and the demons we find there. “Lost and Broken” melds the intense energy of metalcore with the raw power of hard rock, infusing cyberpunk with doom metal elements. Switching gears and returning to their pop-punk roots, Beyond Unbroken’s “My Life” is a track brimming with hope and renewal. “Halo” features the rap vocal talents of Whitney Peyton, covering the narrative of a toxic love-hate relationship and featuring rap and trap elements alongside a soulful pop chorus.
Releasing with the album is the title track "Destruction." Featuring a dark and intense music video the single is a somber illustration of the bands' thoughts on artificial intelligence. Best described in the band's own words: "For 'Destruction,' my brother Monte Money showed me a vocal melody that sparked a flood of ideas," explains Michael Money. "Inspired, I worked on it late into the night, incorporating synthesizers and creating a piano intro. The song evolved into a commentary on Artificial Intelligence, exploring the fears and potential consequences of A.I. advancements. The post-chorus features a whispered "Destruction," adding to the eerie vibe. The lyrics in the breakdown serve as a warning about humanity's future. This powerful theme led us to name both the song and the album "Destruction."
As Beyond Unbroken continues to explore the human experience and push the boundaries of metal and rock, Destruction is shaping up to be an album that showcases their extreme versatility in production whether it be a chilled-out single or over top brutality. From brutal metal and rock to alternative and pop, this album promises to be a thrilling ride for fans and newcomers alike. This is Beyond Unbroken at their most intense and versatile yet.
In a world of boundaries Beyond Unbroken refuses to be defined by one genre. Founded by former Escape The Fate members, brothers Monte and Michael Money, the band habitually crosses the lines, mixing genres the way an artist mixes paint with results that often defy expectation.
They released their first single “Under Your Skin” in 2015 and debuted their first independent EP Don’t Wake The Dead in 2017 with producer Matt Good of From First To Last. The EP was well received with the animated video “Overdose” earning millions of views upon release. Their first debut album, Running Out of Time, followed in 2020 with singles earning millions of streams and premiering on Alt Press.
On April 29, 2020, the band covered Lil Peep and Twenty One Pilots mashup, "Falling Down + Heathens" and it remains the band's most streamed track to this day. In 2021 the band released a one-off single “With Or Without Me” on the FiXT Radium Compilation which eventually led to the band signing with the label in 2023. The Band released their sophomore album Destruction in late 2024.
'Destruction' is now available from FiXT.
