Italian melodic death metal band Dying Awkward Angel has released a new single titled “Music Kills”. The song is a heavy, mid-tempo track that reflects the band’s evolving sound while staying true to its roots in Scandinavian death metal.
“Music Kills” features a raw and aggressive tone. It is inspired by the early 1990s Swedish death metal scene, especially bands like Dismember and Entombed. The track uses the classic HM-2 guitar sound but adds a modern groove to it. With harsh guitar riffs, intense vocals, and a dark mood, the song creates a brutal yet memorable listening experience.
The lyrics explore the double-sided nature of music. They suggest that music can both inspire and destroy. This message adds emotional depth to the band’s heavy sound and strengthens their unique style within the global melodic death metal scene.
The new single follows the band’s 2018 album Absence of Light, which received strong praise from critics. Known for fast and relentless songs, the band now takes a darker and more focused approach. “Music Kills” shows a shift toward slower, heavier music, while still keeping its intensity.
This release also signals a new phase for Dying Awkward Angel. The band plans to share more news soon about their upcoming full-length album. The new record is expected to build on the themes and sound introduced in “Music Kills.”
Fans of Dismember, Entombed, and At The Gates—and anyone who enjoys the raw side of melodic death metal—will likely find “Music Kills” a powerful and promising new offering from the band.
