Blazing crossover behemoths LIFE CYCLES are pleased to release their latest single, âHaunting Spirit,â from their debut EP, Portal To The Unknown. The track comes on the eve off of the EPâs official unveiling via 1126 Records.Â
LIFE CYCLES hails from the heart of Texas, a state known for churning out sonic titans. Like fellow Lone Star State heavyweights Power Trip, LIFE CYCLES have set their sights on reshaping the realms of thrash and hardcore with an unyielding intensity through their potent cocktail of thrash metal ferocity and hardcore tenacity. Drawing inspiration from the likes of metal icons Slayer, Pantera, Municipal Waste, Exodus, Testament, and Judas Priest, the band effortlessly bridges the gap between two tumultuous genres. Their music possesses the raw aggression of a hardcore show, punctuated with bone-rattling breakdowns, while simultaneously carrying the blistering speed and precision of a thrash metal performance.
With Portal To The Unknown the band delves deep into the trials and tribulations of life, exploring betrayals, confronting toxic memories, and the eternal battle between nostalgia and bitter recollections. Itâs âus against the world,â as drummer Xavier Rios aptly puts it.
Comments Rios on the bandâs latest single, ââHaunting Spiritâ is about the ghost of your past. The spirit endlessly haunting you, no matter the time of day, making it feel like a never-ending nightmare.â
