Introducing LIFE CYCLES, the blazing crossover outfit hailing from the heart of Texas, a state known for churning out sonic titans. Like fellow Lone Star State heavyweights, Power Trip, LIFE CYCLES have set their sights on reshaping the realms of thrash and hardcore with an unyielding intensity. Their sound is a potent cocktail of thrash metal ferocity and hardcore tenacity. Drawing inspiration from the likes of metal icons Slayer, Pantera, Municipal Waste, Exodus, Testament, and Judas Priest, LIFE CYCLES effortlessly bridge the gap between two tumultuous genres. Their music possesses the raw aggression of a hardcore show, punctuated with bone-rattling breakdowns, while simultaneously carrying the blistering speed and precision of a thrash metal performance.
After igniting stages alongside Upon A Burning Body, LIFE CYCLES stand at the precipice of a groundbreaking chapter in their career. They've recently penned a deal with 1126 Records, a testament to their unwavering dedication and undeniably powerful sound.
With a new single on the horizon, titled "Serpent's Kiss," the band offers a tantalizing glimpse into their unique fusion. The track begins with a thrash-infused groove before erupting into a hardcore onslaught, encapsulating the essence of their lyrical metaphor – a snake, a deceiver, and the art of escape. In a world tainted by deceit, the song's relatable narrative is bound to strike a chord with listeners.
LIFE CYCLES will release their fourth EP entitled PORTAL TO THE UNKNOWN on February 22nd, 2024, promising even more shades and textures to their auditory palette. From the spine-chilling artwork adorned with snakes and skulls to the deeply personal themes, the band delves into the trials and tribulations of life, exploring betrayals, confronting toxic memories, and the eternal battle between nostalgia and bitter recollections.
Their music tells a story, a journey of joining the world of music, braving its trials, and embracing the fight as a collective. It's "us against the world," as drummer Xavier Rios aptly puts it. Get ready to be swept away by LIFE CYCLES, a force that defies genre boundaries and leads a relentless charge through the realms of metal and hardcore.
