40 BELOW SUMMER Resurface With Explosive New Single ‘Afterthought’

New Jersey alt-metal veterans 40 BELOW SUMMER return with “Afterthought” — a thunderous new single accompanied by an official music video that reminds the world why their name still hits hard after decades in the scene. The track erupts with the band’s trademark blend of aggression and melody, channeling raw emotion through groove-heavy riffs and cathartic hooks.

“Afterthought” pulses with intensity from the first note — massive guitars, driving rhythm, and fiery vocals that cut through with both fury and purpose. The song reflects on disillusionment and resilience, standing as both a personal reckoning and a battle cry for renewal.

The video mirrors that energy with a visceral, performance-driven visual — dark, gritty, and immersive — pulling viewers straight into the storm that defines 40 BELOW SUMMER’s sound.

With “Afterthought”, 40 BELOW SUMMER prove that true heaviness comes not just from sound, but from survival — a band reborn through experience, still defiant, still powerful, and still unstoppable.
