Rising Texas metallic hardcore band SOUL EXCHANGE has officially joined the roster of New England metal torchbearers 1126 Records and announced plans to release their new EP, Slow Descent, on June 5.
Speaking on the band’s signing, drummer Colby Cameron shares:
“We reached out to 1126 with the EP because we had friends who were previously on the label, and they had nothing but great things to say about their experience. We’ve also always had a lot of admiration for Scott Lee.
What we didn’t realize was that we had actually played a show with Tom Lovejoy, the label manager, about five months before signing. He liked what he saw enough to remember our name, open our cold email, and listen to the record. From there, we started talking about working together. We’re incredibly thankful and excited to be part of the roster.”
Marking the band’s second EP, Slow Descent is built on punishing riffs, crushing rhythms, and an unrelenting sense of urgency. The release delivers a fierce and emotionally heavy examination of addiction and its far-reaching consequences. Recorded with Kieran Krebs at Overcast Recordings and mixed by Taylor Young at The Pit, the EP captures the raw intensity and emotional weight at the core of SOUL EXCHANGE’s sound.
Today, the band unveils the devastatingly heavy new single, “Cash and Cold Hands” featuring Taylor Young (Disgrace, Deadbody, Twitching Tongues), alongside an accompanying music video.
Speaking on the track, vocalist Austin Greco says:
“Told through the dealer’s perspective, this song turns addiction into numbers, transactions, and complete detachment. It shows how easy it is to normalize someone else’s downfall when it benefits you.
‘Cash and Cold Hands’ is everything we want this band to be—it’s fast, aggressive, riff-driven, and leaves no room for filler. Taylor has produced and written some of our favorite records, so having him work on this track still feels surreal.”Stream "Cash and Cold Hands": https://1126.lnk.to/slowdescentPre-Order Slow Descent: www.1126records.com
