With an impassioned and intense heavy alt-rock and sludge metal sound that will resonate with fans of Acid Bath, Queens of the Stone Age, and Deftones, THE LARCHES have earned high praise for their energetic live shows and are quickly building a loyal fanbase across the North of England.

Following on from their 2025 single ‘Equilibrium’, the Teesside teens return with a matured, razor-sharp sound that cements their place as one of the most exciting emerging acts in the UK’s heavy music scene. This new double A-side signals a bold new direction that THE LARCHES are charging toward.

‘Ego Death’ launches with chugging, feedback-laden guitars before erupting into a gut-wrenching growl from frontman Noah Annandale. His commanding vocals soar above relentless drums and a punishing bassline, delivering a track that never lets up. While ‘The Skin I Live In’ opens with a teeth-rattling riff that could sit comfortably on an early Sabbath record. Guitarists Joel Hardwick and Sonny Evans riff in brutal harmony, while Alfie Murphy’s thunderous bassline kicks the track into a sludgy, driving groove. All of it is anchored by the precision drumming of George Moss, culminating in a full-blown sludge metal assault.

An official launch party takes place at Stockton’s Georgian Theatre on Friday 17th October, where the new tracks will get their first full outing onstage. The band are also laying down plans for their debut EP, which is scheduled for early in the year. With more gigs booked across the North East and beyond, THE LARCHES are showing no signs of slowing down.
