Ov Sulfur - Endless (2026)

Delivering the first blow to the head in 2026, today we have Ov Sulfur and their crushing sophomore full-length release “Endless”. Featuring ten tracks filled with unrelenting brutality, this outfit unleashes over 45 minutes of some of the most brutal music that has been released in the last few years. However, not all is linear and dull, as there are a few surprises here and there that keep the release fresh and very engaging.

Opening with the punishing “Endless//Godless”, we get the expected pummeling breakdowns of your typical Deathcore release and Ricky Hoover inhuman growls. The album quickly transitions to a more melodic and yet brutal tempo with “Seed”, a track that delivers waves of crafty riffs and engaging vocal arrangements alongside the band’s razor sharp brutality. The cinematic nature of “Forlorn” and “Vast Eternal” brings the band’s sound closer to contemporary giants like Lorna Shore, while still featuring their own identity and style.

For those looking to mosh and break stuff, “Evermore” is one of those songs that make you want to get out of your seat and start going nuts. The use of clean vocals creates a very dynamic environment and allows songs to create even more contrast between their tempo changes. We also have a few guest appearances like Josh Davies of Ingesting in “Dread”, Johnny Ciardullo of Carcosa in “Bleak”, and Alan Grjna of Distant in “A World Away”, allowing the band to showcase their brutal style with additional shine.

Closing with the surprisingly mellow “Endless//Loveless”, this release features something for everybody. From the diehard brutal Deathcore fans, to the more melodicly inclined fans of the genre, “Endless” showcases Ov Sulfur expanding their sound and refining their style for the better. While there are tons of Deathcore releases that are copies of each other, this album manages to stand out due to the band’s ability to create brutal and yet engaging songs.
