Minneapolis Progressive Metal powerhouse AFTER THE BURIAL, have returned today with their first new single in over two years, “Hum From The Hollow”. The punishing new track finds the band excavating dark emotional territory and serves as a brutal reminder of why AFTER THE BURIALremain an essential voice in modern heavy music.
“Hum From The Hollow” showcases the band’s signature blend of mathematically precise 8-string guitar work and crushing rhythmic foundations. Lyrically, it navigates themes of internal decay and psychological torment. Sonically, the single balances the band’s insane technical prowess with a visceral, almost suffocating sense of fury that perfectly complements the track’s exploration of existential dread. Speaking on the new track, founding guitarist Trent Hafdahl explains: “This song is one of many from the new album that have the same theme: pissed off. Sometimes you have to strip it all down and give the fans something to let their anger out to, so that’s what we did here.”
With Anthony Notarmaso’s devastating vocal performance perfectly mirroring the song’s exploration of psychological torment, Trent Hafdahl’s innovative, jagged guitar work anchoring their sound and the unflinching rhythm section of Adrian Oropeza (bass) and Dan Carle (drums) providing a brutally heavy, unshakeable foundation, “Hum From The Hollow” confirms that AFTER THE BURIAL continue to be a band that understands the therapeutic power of pure, unrelenting heaviness who are unafraid to confront the uncomfortable realities of human experience through their brutal sonic lens.

AFTER THE BURIAL have spent two decades forging the blueprint for modern heavy music. Since forming in 2004, the quartet—Anthony Notarmaso (vocals), Trent Hafdahl (lead guitar), Adrian Oropeza (bass), and Dan Carle (drums)—have emerged as architects of the Djent movement while consistently pushing the boundaries of what heavy music can be. Their signature blend of mathematically precise 8-string guitar work, crushing grooves, and Notarmaso’s devastating vocal range has influenced an entire generation of metalcore and Progressive Metal acts.
With six full-length albums under their belt, including career-defining releases like “Rareform” (2009), “Dig Deep” (2016), and “Evergreen” (2019), AFTER THE BURIAL have proven their staying power through both triumph and tragedy. Their 2023 return with the emotionally charged double single “Embrace The Infinity ” marked their first new music in four years, showcasing a band that refuses to compromise their artistic vision.
Currently signed to Sumerian Records, AFTER THE BURIAL have shared stages with everyone from KILLSWITCH ENGAGE and PARKWAY DRIVE to THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER and SPIRITBOX. Now, with “Hum The Hollow” setting the tone for both their upcoming US tour with WE COME AS ROMANS and the dawning of a new chapter, AFTER THE BURIAL continue to deliver the crushing live performances and innovative songwriting that have made them essential figures in the Modern Metal landscape.
