BOUNDARIES’ eagerly-awaited new album Yearning: the unbeautiful after is out now via Sumerian Records.
“With the record, we aimed to be uncompromising and really plant our flag,” Matthew McDougal explains. “As more time passes, heavy music continues to lose its teeth. This genre is supposed to be threatening; it should have an edge and make you feel something. We tried to create an album with urgency.”
McDougal, in a recent interview with Revolver, expanded on that, saying the band’s mindset going into writing and recording the 14-track album was to “Spend less time in the middle and more time trying to bring out those extremes, to show our full breadth of what we think we’re capable of.”
Yearning: the unbeautiful after was recorded in the Fall of 2025 with producer Drew Fulk (Knocked Loose, Fit For A King) and features guest appearances from The Plot In You’s Landon Tewers (‘Crowned and crucified’) and Make Them Suffer’s Sean Harmanis and Alex Reade (‘Torn wide open’).
Having just wrapped up a European tour, BOUNDARIES will perform at Warped Tour in Long Beach, California on 26th July, followed by outings at Endless Fires Festival and Louder Than Life. A six-week Fall tour with Knocked Loose and Denzel Curry begins on 26th September.
