Boundaries know exactly what they want to do, how they want to sound, and where they want to go. Disregarding trends, fads, and whatever the flavor-of-the-month may be, the band hyper-focus on a full-scale sensory onslaught of their own design. They stretch their sound almost to a breaking point, reining in fits of polyrhythmic bloodletting with a respite of powerful and poignant melodies.
For as extreme as the sonic dynamics are, it’s the extremity of the group’s intent that makes their signature style dangerous and utterly alive.
A clear sense of purpose drives the Connecticut quintet—Matthew McDougal [vocals], Cory Emond [guitar], Tim Sullivan [drummer, vocals], Nathan Calcagno [bass, vocals], and Cody DelVecchio [guitar]—and defines their fourth full-length LP and Sumerian Records debut, Yearning: the unbeautiful after.
“With the record, we aimed to be uncompromising and really plant our flag,” Matthew states. “As more time passes, heavy music continues to lose its teeth. This genre is supposed to be threatening; it should have an edge and make you feel something. We tried to create an album with urgency. If we did anything correctly, it will speak for itself.”
“We did exactly what we wanted to do,” affirms Cory. “You could say we pushed everything in both directions, but we were simply being who we are as a band.”
From day one forward, the group have stuck to their guns. In fact, they’ve only grown more resolute over the course of Hartford County Misery[2017], Your Receding Warmth [2020], Burying Brightness [2022], and Death Is Little More [2024]. The latter incited the applause of KNOTFEST, MetalSucks, and New Noise Magazine who crowned it “their best yet and a clear front-runner for AOTY.” Additionally, Death Is Little More tallied tens of millions of streams fueled by “Easily Erased,” “Scars On A Soul,” and “Darkness Shared.” Emerging as a force of nature on the road, they’ve canvased North America with A Day To Remember, The Plot In You, and Dying Wish, in addition to packing headline shows. Signing to Sumerian Records, the band launched their next chapter. Given the positive response to Death Is Little More, they spent more time on the road between albums than ever. They also hit the studio with GRAMMY® Award-nominated producer Drew Fulk [Knocked Loose, Make Them Suffer] for the first time. Decamping to Los Angeles, they crafted Yearning: the unbeautiful after in the fall of 2025.
“We did our last three records with Randy LeBoeuf, and it was natural to the point of being a well-oiled machine,” Cory notes. “We had never met Drew before. We hadn’t gone through any growing pains with a producer in over six years. We wanted to see if we could mesh with him. It took a few weeks, but when he ‘got it’, we locked in and really understood each other. Throughout the process, Drew said, ‘I don’t know many bands who can go as heavy as you go and as soft as you go’. That dichotomy had appealed to him, because most bands pick a lane without venturing into both aspects.”
Boundaries kick down the door with the first single “Skies cast amber black.” Moving in lockstep, Matthew’s screams march forward in time with chugging detuned guitars and pummeling drums. A palm-muted riff, pick scrapes, jittery cymbals, and ominous squeals up the intensity. On the bridge, the frontman’s whispers explode into a final scream, “Skies cast amber black!”
