En Masse deliver crushing new EP; it's like Glassjaw just released their first album in 2025
In the slew of genericore coming out these days, it's really refreshing to hear something shockingly familiar but also refreshing. I've had the pleasure of hearing the new EP from En Masse "newviolenttrends" and I have to say, if you're a fan of Glassjaw, Finch, and Deftones you're going to absolutely love this EP. Fresh and hot new stuff from the boutique Fever Ltd. label who rarely misses!
For post-hardcore band En Masse, the goal was always to write music that’s fun and reminiscent of what they’d want to listen to. Channeling bands like Glassjaw, Deftones, and Poison The Well while mixing in influences from Depeche Mode and The Cure proved the perfect formula.
Today, En Masse announce their newviolenttrends EP, set for release June 20th on Fever Ltd. (Heavenward, Fly Over States) and share single "justthisonce." Mixed and mastered by Adam Cichocki (Gatherers, ASkySoBlack, Casey), the four songs on newviolenttrends are aggressive, impactful, and infectious. Having previously unveiled the heavy “masq,” the band lean into their flair for rhythm and melody on "justthisonce." Layers of guitar and bass build a textured, dynamic atmosphere with vocalist Zack Santiago’s high pitched notes and screams adding an elevated dimension. The momentum building video for the track, directed and edited by Quintin Fernandez, can be watched HERE.
On the song’s lyrics, Santiago shares:
“In life there’s growth through situations and sometimes those situations reappear later through life as a test, ‘justthisonce’ is asking myself and the listener, have you truly learned anything at all?”
