High-energy metalcore band SUGAR SPINE continue charging forward with their most intense and vulnerable material yet with the release of their brand new EP ‘Soul Before Spirit’. Alongside the release of their new EP, they also present the new track ‘Prisoner of More’.
“I was pretty vulnerable during the time of writing this EP. My ambition and obsession with this band swallowed me up, and mixed in with the grief of losing my grandmother, I was unable to be present with people who mean a lot to me. The song is a bit of a hopeful wish that I can achieve that perfect balance of drive and appreciation for things around me. Until then, I’ll be a candle burning at both ends,” vocalist Josh Muncke explains.

Since forming in 2021, SUGAR SPINE have rapidly built momentum within the heavy music scene. The band has released three records - EP ‘Mirror Talk’ (2022) and Debut LP 'Emerald' (2023) - followed by their 2025 EP ‘Violent Heaven’. Known for their explosive live presence, they have shared stages with heavyweights such as Jesus Piece, Distant, Breakdown of Sanity, Half Me, and Misery Signals. Their collaborative efforts also extend to working with acts like Born of Osiris, Distant, Bleed From Within, and To The Grave.
With ‘Soul Before Spirit’, SUGAR SPINE continue carving out a reputation for intensely personal songwriting and relentless energy - further cementing their position as one of metalcore’s most exciting emerging acts.
“I needed a title that would encapsulate the need for me to be present and live deeply in my experiences, not just float through them without deeply acknowledging them”, Muncke continues. “I’m terrified of dying with regrets and wondering if I really gave things enough time and love. This feeling, combined with the grief of my grandmother’s passing, and my obsession with making this band work, really challenged my beliefs about what’s most important in life. I just hope that, in the end, I feel like I lived as deeply as I could.”
The new EP is produced by Josh Muncke, Sietse de Krieger and Tom Verstappen, and mixed and mastered by Sebastian Sendon.
‘Prisoner of More’ and ‘Soul Before Spirit’ are both available now on all streaming services via Prime Collective.
