DOOMSDAY: “Pain Dweller” From Oakland Thrash/Crossover Outfit Now Streaming!

“Pain Dweller” is the newest single from Oakland, California-based crossover outfit DOOMSDAY preceding their debut LP, Never Known Peace, nearing release on Creator-Destructor Records at the end of March.

Formed in 2018 by members from different parts of the Bay Area metal and hardcore scene, DOOMSDAY delivers a crushing brew of crossover/thrash with divebomb-fueled intensity. Following several demos and singles and heavy live attacks throughout the Bay Area and beyond, the band entered the international spotlight with the 2022 release of their Depictions Of Chaos EP. DOOMSDAY toured across the West Coast with Upon Stone, Extinguish, Mutually Assured Destruction, Darkness Everywhere, and more, honing their already deadly craft to incinerating new levels of precision and aggression, which now shows through on the succinct slam of their eponymous EP, released in 2023 to critical praise and resulting in more live opportunities.

Now, DOOMSDAY is finally prepared to unload their debut LP, Never Known Peace, a record which sees the band further embracing their thrash metal and crossover influences and delivering an all-out shredding thrash salvo. Ten ripping tracks that surge with the energy of the thrash metal bedrock that lines their Bay Area hometown like it’s 1986. Technical flair and spiraling divebomb-laden precision fuels the percussive riff assault.

Never Known Peace was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Zack Ohren at Sharkbite Studios (Machine Head, Suffocation, Darkness Everywhere), and features guest solos on “Holy Justice” and “Remnants Of Spite” by Andrew Lee (Ripped To Shreds). The record is completed with cover artwork by Spencer Davie, layout by Isaiah Castillo, and photography by Chris Johnston. Fans of Nuclear Assault, Power Trip, Exodus, Enforced, Municipal Waste, Testament, early-Metallica, DOOMSDAY’s Never Known Peace is a must-hear record.

With the “Pain Dweller” single, the band offers, “This song is about rising above the struggle, and standing up from the mud when everything keeps trying to kick you back down. We definitely think this is the closest thing we’ve written that’s like an ‘anthem,’ because we want people singing this back to our face loud as hell.”

Never Known Peace will be released on all digital platforms, CD, and LP on March 28th. Preorders for all formats and other new merch are posted at the Creator-Destructor shop HERE and Bandcamp where “The Outlaw” and “Never Known Peace” are also streaming HERE.

DOOMSDAY is booking tour dates in support of the album.
