Hello there, and happy new year 2026!
We started this band back in 2010, and somehow it still feels like (almost) yesterday. Time really does fly when you have fun and even when not so fun. Over the past 16 years I’ve seen a lot: many ups, even more downs, rehearsals, gigs, releases, request campaigns, merch orders, reviews, chances, disappointments, despair, and hope.
After all that, here are the words I never thought I would write:
After thinking about this for a long time and careful consideration, I have decided to leave Dead End Irony.

Thank you to everyone who came to the gigs (or even rehearsals), gave feedback, listened, and requested our music on that certain radio station! You really made it all worth it. At times, you honestly made me feel like a rockstar 🙂

The album was recorded at Teemu Aalto Music Production, known for working with top Finnish metal acts like Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum, and Marianas Rest.
Battles and Brotherhood will be released on May 30th.
 
Cover art by Tomáš “submarine” Krumpál.

2. Patton
3. King of Emptiness
4. Day of Reckoning

8. Razor Gods

Details
“Catch My Soul” is the 5th and final single from Dead End Irony’s upcoming album Battles and Brotherhood, set for release at the end of May via Inverse Records.
 
"This heavy metal ballad starts with acoustic guitars and a tight rhythm section, building up to a chorus bigger than the Imatra rapids. Powerful vocals and soaring guitar leads tie it all together in true Dead End Irony style."
 
Written by the band and produced by Teemu Aalto (Insomnium, Ginger Evil, Marianas Rest).

"The song combines melodic elements with a hard hitting riff. There is a lot of repressed emotions in the lyrics. Gone is a song about what it feels like to keep fighting even when you know you've lost because you don't know what else to do."

The album will be released later this year through Inverse Records.
