Chicago death metal band CURSED AWAKENING (FKA - ARRHYTHMIA) returns with their new single "Past Newtonium," a punishing new track that serves as the first warning of a full length album coming later in 2026.
To sum up "Past Newtonium" in one word, unrelenting. The song opens with a slow and deceptively restrained introduction before rapidly giving way to steady, ferocious triplet feel chugging. Razor sharp riffing drives the track forward as it erupts into a blistering Kerry King esque solo. The final moments descend into a brutal breakdown filled with screaming pinch harmonics, before returning to the intro riff to seal the track with grim finality.
Lyrically, "Past Newtonium" reflects a moment in the album where panic and overwhelming self disgust take center stage. The themes focus on self loathing, irreversible mistakes, and the suffocating realization of one’s own perceived corruption, reinforcing the psychological weight carried throughout the record.
Most of the riffs for "Past Newtonium" were written by rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist Abraham Verdin, with the song’s ominous intro drawing inspiration from BEHEMOTH’s "Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel." The result is a track that blends old school death metal aggression with deliberate pacing, thrash influenced precision, and non standard song structure.
