Humanity’s Last Breath drops New Single “Anthracite”
Swedish sonic architects of chaos, Humanity’s Last Breath, have returned with “Anthracite”, a track that pushes the boundaries of heaviness and atmosphere. Known for forging the now infamous “thall” sound—a brutal hybrid of djent, doom, and deathcore wrapped in suffocating, apocalyptic textures—the band once again delivers music that feels less like a song and more like an extinction-level event.
“Anthracite” delves into themes of transcendence and liberation from the physical world, painting its vision through a dense wall of dissonance, subterranean grooves, and nightmarish ambience. Accompanied by a striking lyric visualizer, the release immerses listeners into the oppressive yet strangely cathartic sonic realm that has become the band’s signature.
The single also marks Humanity’s Last Breath’s first new material since signing with Century Media Records, signaling a new chapter in their already relentless career. Its timing is no accident—the release drops in perfect alignment with the launch of their North American trek, The Level Up Tour, kicking off April 18. Cities such as Portland, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas will be among the first to experience the live manifestation of “Anthracite”, promising a concert experience as immersive and overwhelming as the track itself.
With “Anthracite,” Humanity’s Last Breath continues to prove that extreme metal’s evolution is far from over—it’s getting darker, heavier, and more sonically suffocating than ever before.
