Friday, September 15th, 2023 – It’s release day for Australian deathcore juggernauts and avid animal rights campaigners, To The Grave, who have officially unleashed their new digital EP ‘Offcuts’ along with the deluxe edition of latest album ‘Director’s Cuts’.
‘Offcuts’ is available now as a digital-only EP featuring 6 brand new songs plus the band’s cover of Enter Shikari’s “Anesthetist” which is only available on the digital EP release. These new tracks are also included on the expansive deluxe edition ‘Director’s Cuts (Deluxe)’, out today as a double disc, gatefold vinyl and on CD. Listen to both on streaming and order physical copies HERE. Watch the full ‘Offcuts‘ EP visualizer stream HERE.
Speaking on their new release, the band share: “OFFCUTS is a collection of songs we had gotten to the finish line when creating Director’s Cuts last year that we felt didn’t quite match the grit of the album and had more of a fun approach in parts. We pulled them out of the album sequence and added a couple of other extras we’d been wanting to experiment with for a while. We’re glad we found a way to rescue these from the cutting room floor, they were some of our favorites from the album process and we’re very excited to share them with everyone now.”
To The Grave are one of the most uncompromising and outspoken bands in the deathcore scene today. Hailing from Sydney, Australia, they combine crushing riffs, blast beats and guttural vocals with a strong sense of social justice and animal rights activism. They released their debut album ‘Global Warning’ in 2019, which received praise from fans and critics alike for its ferocity and honesty. They followed it up with ‘Epilogue’ in 2021, a massive 19-track album that cemented their reputation as one of the most exciting and innovative bands in the genre. They then released ‘Director’s Cuts’ earlier this year, a groundbreaking album that pushed the boundaries of deathcore with cinematic, horror movie inspired music videos and diverse soundscapes. The album spawned singles “Red Dot Sight“, “Axe Of Kindness”, “Cut Off The Head” and “Found Footage” the music videos for which have racked up 420,000 views on YouTube between them with the album hitting 2.68 million streams and counting across streaming platforms.

ABOUT TO THE GRAVE
One of Australia’s most uncompromising bands, To The Grave released ‘Director’s Cuts‘, their heaviest album to date both sonically and thematically, in February of this year to mass acclaim. Since the release of their 2019 debut album ‘Global Warning’, the caustic five piece have garnered international success, with 2021’s follow-up ‘Epilogue’, a re-issue of ‘Global Warning’ with bonus tracks, solidifying their position as “one of the country’s heaviest exports.” (Revolver).
To The Grave have steadily built an audience in the underground, accumulating more than 11 million Spotify streams, racking up over 5.4 million YouTube views, all whilst decimating live audiences alongside Parkway Drive, Polaris, Cattle Decapitation, Thy Art Is Murder, Shadow of Intent, Angelmaker, Enterprise Earth, Vulvodynia and Alpha Wolf.
Now, following a sold-out national headline tour in 2022, global critical acclaim for the release of ‘Director’s Cuts‘, a new EP and plenty of touring for the remainder of 2023, the band are more focused than ever.
