Single Slam: RØRY, Devilhusk, Boundaries, and As December Falls!

Today’s single slam features RØRY, Devilhusk, Boundaries, and As December Falls. You can read our thoughts about the latest singles from these bands below.

RØRY – KIDS THESE DAYS

Great Britain is under threat. Not from war or recession, but from something far more dangerous: hope.

Across the country, young people are speaking out, demanding better, and believing they deserve a future. We will not stand for it.

RØRY has announced the formation of the KIDS THESE DAYS PARTY, a powerful new movement set to de-unite Britain and restore the values this country was built on: silence, inequality, and repression. The mission is simple: together, we can stop hope.

Launching alongside the party is its official anthem, ‘KIDS THESE DAYS’, a rallying cry against the rising tide of self-expression, therapy culture, and emotional awareness sweeping the nation.

Speaking on the movement, RØRY articulates:

Kids these days are getting diagnosed with ADHD, going to therapy, and talking about their feelings. That is not how it’s done. This is GREAT BRITAIN. We suppress things here. It’s time someone did something about it.

Driping in anthemic sarcasm, RØRY is as outspoken as ever here, but turns the focus outward instead of inward and shows a new side to her music. It’s fun, but it’s fun with a serious point that comes with plenty of alternative heaviness and a very catchy chorus.

Devilhusk – Montezuma 1260

Following from their success in 2025 with EP ‘Sleep Like the Dead’, UK-based innovators of genre bending metal, Devilhusk storm the Spring of 2026 with their next chapter, ‘Montezuma 1260’.

Continuing where they left off, Devilhusk get their next chapter started with an angry, vitriolic, and wild track. They’re sounding particularly vehement here, drawing from the more chaotic side of metal, infusing touches of nu, but remaining impressively genre fluid. The breakdown at the end is filth. Check it out here.

Boundaries – Death will follow me

Boundaries will release their new album, ‘Yearning: the unbeautiful after’, on 17th July via Sumerian Records. The announcement comes with the release of ‘Death will follow me’ and its official video.

Vocalist Matthew McDougal explains:

This time last year was one of significant sorrow for this band and many others. The tragic accident that took the lives of our friends so suddenly has since had us in a state of perpetual mourning. The evidence of such and of life’s unforgivable violence is found throughout this newest album. ‘Death will follow me’ merely begins to scratch the surface of this concept and its grief ripples throughout this entire record.

An explosive track that starts off fast and intense, delivering tension heavy breaks that inevitably lead into some of the most panic inducing blasts of heaviness heard this year. A touch of clean singing in the chorus, giving it a more obviously alternative/metalcore vibe, is welcome, but it’s not what anyone will remember about this track in the end. Check it out here.

As December Falls – Teeth

Nottingham pop-punks, As December Falls, have released a new single, ‘Teeth’.

Speaking of the release, vocalist Bethany Hunter, shares:

Teeth explores how parasocial relationships can blur into something more unsettling. When people form a connection with you from a distance, it can feel real, even safe, but there’s a version of you they’ll never fully see. The song plays with that idea, that if you dig too deep into someone you’ve only imagined, you might not like what you find. It’s also the heaviest song we’ve written and we’re loving exploring new genres on this record.

It’s probably not going to come as too much of a surprise to those who know this band, but this new single is effortlessly catchy. A band who embodies modern anthemic alternative rock in all its authentic glory. It’s a passionate showcase of strength from a band on the rise.
