Japanese metalcore outfit Paledusk, hailing from Fukuoka, are taking the next step in their career with the first-ever vinyl release of PALEHELL. The 7-track EP, originally released in 2024, will be available as a limited Blue Demon Splattered Vinyl edition on June 19, 2026. Pre-orders are open now, and if you want to go all-in, you can even snag a bundle that includes the new “Metalcore Is Not Dead” shirt.
If this steadily rising group has flown under your radar so far, you can check out the title track below. Blending progressive metalcore, hardcore, rock, and even hip-hop elements, they are currently one of Japan's most exciting boundary-pushing acts, standing alongside giants like Babymetal and peers like Crossfaith—who, by the way, also feature on this record.
