Texas crossover behemoths LIFE CYCLES are pleased to unleash their latest single, “The End Still Awaits,” out now on 1126 Records.
Like fellow Lone Star State heavyweights, Power Trip, LIFE CYCLES has set their sights on reshaping the realms of thrash and hardcore with an unyielding intensity. Drawing inspiration from the likes of metal icons Slayer, Pantera, Municipal Waste, Exodus, Testament, and Judas Priest, the band effortlessly bridges the gap between two tumultuous genres. With an early 2026 European tour with Sylosis, Revocation, and Distant on the horizon, the band is set to smash through the glass ceiling around their crossover sound.
In preparation, LIFE CYCLES has released a brand-new burner titled “The End Still Awaits.” Frightening clean guitar melodies give way to thrash-infused grooves and solos, before erupting into a hardcore onslaught.
Comments drummer Xavier Rios, “‘The End Still Awaits…’ The destructive patterns of self-sabotage. The song describes internal conflicts and the cycle of the negative thoughts, highlighting the consequences and the feeling of regret.”
