0:00It's April 19th. This is Music News Today, powered by AI, your daily soundcheck. I'm Cory with the story. A Treyew just dropped word on their new album, The End Is Not The End, and they put way more planning into this one than any of their past records. The lead single, Children of Light, brings in Max Cavalera from Soulfly for that extra fire. It's shaping up to be their most thoughtful project yet, packed with riffs and hoax that hit hard. They cooked up a bunch of these tracks on creative getaways, starting in Tokyo, where the energy felt like being kids again. Mornings were for writing, afternoons for wandering and soaking up vibes, and they knocked out the song Dead, right there, knowing they had gold. Then they switched gears to San Juan Island off Washington, Total Isolation Mode. No leaving the house for days, and that cranked out some of the heaviest cuts on the record, polar opposite from Tokyo's chaos. The band's been crushing it since the early 2000s, with over a billion streams worldwide,

1:01gold records, and top spots on charts. Their last album, The Beautiful Dark of Life from 2023, hit top 10 on hard rock lists, and pulled 75 million streams already. Kestin this spring supporting 7 dust on tour, kicking off April 20 in Indianapolis, and raving May 20 in Knoxville. A trail's relentless drive keeps the heavy scene alive, pulling in new fans every run.
