| San Diego, CA– Emerging from the depths of Southern California’s underground, I WILL DESTROY YOUannounce the May 29th release of their debut EP, Dead Before Dawn — a six-track descent into shadowy, synth-driven soundscapes and crushing metallic force. The first single “Witchhammer” is now streaming: https://orcd.co/witchhammer.Watch the video: https://youtu.be/M9nxMavU80E Pre-order vinyl here: https://quietpanic.net/collections/i-will-destroy-you Formed by San Diego music veterans with roots in punk, metal, and electronic scenes — and featuring members of Amenity, B-Side Players, Hauntu, Ilya, Audio Addiction, and Crushed on You — the band channels influences ranging from horror film scores to 1980s dance music, forging a sound that is both cinematic and confrontational. The result is a genre-blurring collision of darkwave, synthwave, and industrial-leaning heaviness that feels as immersive as it is unrelenting.Released via Futureless, Dead Before Dawn unfolds like a soundtrack to an unseen nightmare — pulsing with tension, atmosphere, and raw energy. Across its six tracks, the EP moves between eerie restraint and explosive intensity, building a world that is as hypnotic as it is oppressive.EP Details Title: Dead Before Dawn Artist: I WILL DESTROY YOU Label: Futureless Format: Digital / Vinyl Genre: Darkwave / Synthwave / Electronic / Metal Release Date: May 29, 2026For Fans of: Carpenter, Brut, Dance, With The Dead, Perturbator, Magic Sword, Daniel Deluxe, The Toxic Avenger, Zombi Track Listing:From Beyond (Intro) — A transmission from the void. Haunting synths and mounting tension set the stage for what follows.WitchHammer — Ritualistic and driving, where pounding beats and serrated guitar lines collide in a controlled chaos.Nekromantik — Hypnotic and seductive, weaving heavy rhythms with dark melodic undercurrents.Terror Vision — A frantic, paranoia-laced surge inspired by political unrest — urgent, distorted, and suffocating.Lighthouse Keepers — Bleak and atmospheric, evoking isolation and endurance at the edge of collapse.Deathstalker — Fast, aggressive, and relentless — a closing chase that offers no escape.Entirely instrumental, Dead Before Dawn leans into mood and movement over words, allowing each track to function as a vivid, cinematic experience.
