Blackened deathcore quintet Ov Sulfur will release its sophomore album, “Endless,” on Jan. 16, 2026, via Century Media Records. Pre-order/pre-save it in various formats here, and watch the music video for the new single “Evermore” below.
“When coming up with the theme for ‘Endless’, which is basically endless suffering and the various ways that could rear its ugly head, we questioned what it would be like to have endless life,” vocalist Ricky Hoover said. “This kind of allows it to be a bridge to our earlier anti-organized-religion material, as eternal life is a major tenet of many religions. In theory, living forever sounds incredible, but stop and think about what would come along with it: the death of your loved ones, the world around you gets worse (politically and physically), and no doubt eventual insanity from the eternally stacking heart break. ‘Evermore’ encapsulates these thoughts, building as the character reaches the point of insanity. Fortunately, it mirrors the build of the song, too. We knew it had to be our album launch single.”
Guitarist/vocalist Chase Wilson said: “When I finished recording it, I kind of laughed at the whole thing. It was fun to write. We have a really fast melodic riff to start the thing off, go into a beefed-up chorus, and then top it all off with a slam-style breakdown to shake things up. It’s kind of all over the place in the best way possible, because as different as these parts are, they work together.”
On “Endless,” Ov Sulfer delves deeper into the darkened sonic landscapes that defined the Las Vegas quintet’s 2023 debut, “The Burden ov Faith.” Catapulted by the return of ex-Suffokate vocalist Ricky Hoover, the band takes a more metaphorical approach to the disdain for religion that drove its previous material.
The vocal dynamics and melodic choruses are extended to the max on “Endless.” Songs like “Wither” and the ballad “Endless//Loveless” are an extension to the band’s realization that Hoover could belt with the best of ’em.
“I was originally only going to sing a soft intro to ‘Earthen’ on our last album,” Hoover said. “Once Chase and our vocal producer [for that album] Morgoth heard it, we reworked a bunch of stuff for me to sing more. That’s pushed further here. Chase even taught me to do falsetto in-studio (he actually took a video on his phone where I looked genuinely shocked I hit the notes because it was so new to me).”
Wilson expanded on the vocal growth. “There is a lot of vocal interplay between the two of us, hinted at on ‘The Burden ov Faith’s’ ‘The Inglorious Archetype,’ inspired by Alice in Chains’ Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell,” he said. “You can hear that on ‘Evermore,’ and we practically split ‘Wither’ down the middle; the song is about us both losing grandparents, so it’s super personal.”
