Going Off Release Blistering New Single ‘Mourning’ – Out Now

Carl Fisher 2 min read

Going Off are back with their brand new single ‘Mourning’. Based on the loss of human life – the song is centred around the story of mother’s loss of her first born son to extreme violence. This is “Going Off” at their most sensitive and, most heavy.

The track is taken from their forthcoming EP ‘Kill List II’, out 31st October. Stream it here.

Going Off have proven themselves to be an unwavering force in the U.K. hardcore scene. The band first sprung into people’s eardrums back in 2020 with the release of their self titled and ‘Destroy’ EPs. When lockdown was lifted, the band quickly cultivated a following due to their high impact shows and DIY mentality. Going Off aren’t a band to sit around and wait for things to happen, they get out there, make it happen and inspire people to do the same in the process.

‘Kill List II’ is the ferocious follow‑up to 2024’s Die Fast. This new release confronts the rawest of human experiences with brutal musical intensity. Lyrically, the EP is an unapologetic exploration of loss: of loved ones, of limbs, and of past versions of yourself. Across its tracks, the band channels grief, rage, and resilience into a sonic powerhouse that speaks to what it means to lose—and what it takes to keep going after everything falls apart.

Following the frantic energy and unrelenting speed of their 2024 record Die Fast, which Kerrang! praised as “speedy and savage hardcore that feels live in a dive bar”, Kill List II takes those elements and bends them under the weight of emotional magnitude. Gone are the tongue‑in‑cheek samples and punk bravado—this time, every riff, break and vocal cut to the bone.

The band has spent a good portion of the past few years tearing up stages. Including an extensive UK tour with Employed To Serve and Pupil Slicer, as well as sharing the stage with the likes of Terror, Slapshot, Zulu, Scowl, Spaced, Gel and have sold out a bunch of their own headline shows.

Get ready to experience Going Off at their fiercest!
