NEWS: Earthblood! Axes! Apes!

Telling the story of a man with an axe, “Hatchet in Hand” finds Earthblood embracing what they humorously describe as Thunder Ape Metal, a blend of gritty Sludge Metal with the fast tempos and riffing of Thrash and Death Metal. It’s their second single of 2026 following “Ape Warrior” as the trio build upon the foundations of a prized pair of well received EPs with the help of Inverse Records.
