Kentucky Metalcore Unit Surfaced Lead You “Where Angels Fear to Tread” with New Single Off of Upcoming EP Out August 15!
I want to introduce you to Surfaced, a band born from the grit of Kentucky local shows, as they’re releasing their EP Where Angels Fear to Tread on August 15 via 1126 Records . If you want your faith in local and underground scenes restored, Surfaced is the band to check out and to restore said faith.
What originated as a group of friends bonding in mosh pits became Surfaced in 2022. The band draws influence from across the heavy spectrum—deathcore, death metal, and early 2000s metalcore— channeling that chaos into something equally volatile and focused.
Now, Surfaced is preparing to unleash the six-track EP, Where Angels Fear to Tread, with Massachusetts-based 1126 Records. It’s an EP about grief, confusion, rage, and the wreckage that drags us under—an honest reflection of what it feels like to be young and overwhelmed.
The band shared the single and video for the energetic, jagged-riff-filled “A Petal of Ash,” which drops you right into a DIY Surfaced show. Watch the video and get in the mosh pit here.
Directed by Errik Easterday (Kublai Khan, Orthodox), “A Petal Of Ash” was filmed in the band’s hometown of Louisville, KY, showcasing the violent and visceral nature of their well tread stomping grounds, DIY no rules hardcore.
Vocalist JP Kaine says, “This song is about panic attacks and how often they happen when you least expect it. I deal with anxiety every day, making me scatter-brained and thoughtless.”
The band is committed to the grind of the road with an upcoming slot at Memphis Pest Fest in September and support slot for Fox Lake and Kaonashi across the US this September and October.
