Progressive death metal duo Entheos will release a new EP, “An End to Everything,” on Oct. 25, 2024 through Metal Blade Records; pre-order it here. The band also has shared a video for the song “All for Nothing,” which can be seen below.
Merging elements pulled from countless genres—including death metal, groove, grunge, electronica, slam, gothic rock, jazz, prog and more—Entheos continues to progress with each new release.
“’An End to Everything’s’ title and lyrics are significant on a personal level and depict an era in my life that ended with the death of a close friend because of addiction,” vocalist Chaney Crabb said. “This person had thrived in life against many odds but ultimately succumbed as a result of their own poor decisions. ‘An End to Everything’ is about the nature of the darkness of life and the human experience.
“Musically, our goal on this EP was to write five songs that could both stand on their own as singles and be cohesive as a collection. As always, we aimed to incorporate many different musical influences and blend them in a succinct way. Over the span of three months, we worked from the demo stages to completion alongside Mark Lewis, who co-produced and engineered the EP, to make five tracks that are uniquely Entheos, and we are incredibly proud of the result.”
“‘All for Nothing’ is a song about existential reflection and the idea that, no matter how significant the things that we seek in this life seem, they may serve no purpose in the grand scheme of things,” Crabb said. “Musically, we wanted to write a more straightforward, catchy death metal song and incorporate a ‘big chorus’ ending.”

- Sunken Sun (US)
