THIS ENDING – Dead Harvest

Fusing the best elements of death metal, melodic thrash, and industrial, Sweden’s THIS ENDING has formulated their own sound that crosses genres. Their latest release, “Dead Harvest”, is a perfect blend of these dominant musical aspects, combining them into a heavy, hailstorm of thundering drums, powerful guitar riffs, melodic guitar solos, and vehement vocals, resulting in aggressive album that will appeal to large variety of metal fans upon the first listen.

Although their sound is quite new in style, THIS ENDING has been around since 1991 when they were known as A CANOROUS QUINTENT, playing many shows in Europe with metal heavy-weights such as AT THE GATES, DISSECTION, HYPOCRISY and EDGE OF SANITY. The 5 piece parted ways in 1998 to pursue various separate projects, but reunited in 2005 under the new name THIS ENDING, first releasing a 3 song demo entitled “Let The World Burn”, and then unleashing their first full length CD entitled “Inside The Machine” in 2006. 

2009 brings us their latest release, “Dead Harvest”, a refreshing new approach to song writing, combining their various musical influences and creating a dark and mesmerizing CD. THIS ENDING utilizes a lot mature composing techniques such as counterpoint guitar riffing, blast beat drumming combined with electronic triggers, layered vocals, and dynamic song writing, that makes each track a unique and satisfying experience. Definitely worth a listen if you’re into melodic death metal, or aggressive nu-metal.
