Blue Grape Music has signed New Jersey deathcore act Torn Open to its global roster. The band will release the EP “Torn the Fuck Open, Vol. 2,” the follow-up to its 2025 EP, on May 1, 2026. Pre-save it here, and watch the gory, horror movie-esque video for the new single “The Way Things Should End” below.
“The Way Things Should End” is intended to be a hard-hitting introduction to a new era and not just musically. The single checks all the boxes—creative riffing, a groove that makes you want to punch the guy next to you and lyrics that address about how political power needs to be directly combatted with violence. Working in tandem with the imagery from the music video, the song creates a strong statement, calling out and denouncing the malice inflicted upon many as a product of greed. It aims to point out that there are little to no distinguishing factors between businessmen and politicians anymore, and we are running out of peaceful options when it comes to stopping tyranny.
“Torn the Fuck Open, Vol. 2” track listing:
“A Testament to Stoicism”
“Denial (and So It Begins)”
“The Way Things Should End”
“… And So We Rise”
