TRAGEDY OF MURDER Bridges Thai Deathcore and Visual Kei in a Cross-Border Collaboration With Japanese Vocalist -Kagami- of DEXCORE


Emerging from Thailand, Tragedy of Murder is a metal band pushing boundaries, blending the raw intensity of deathcore with striking aesthetics inspired by the Japanese Visual Kei movement. As the Asian metal scene continues to expand worldwide, Tragedy of Murder stands out as a promising act that brings Thailand’s metal voice to audiences beyond its borders.

Tragedy of Murder has been building momentum with their latest singles “After the Storm” (January 12) and “INSULA” (April 2), marking a prolific start to 2026 and a clear statement of intent.

The single “After the Storm” marks their first collaboration with a Japanese Visual Kei artist, vocalist – kagami – of the metalcore band DEXCORE. It signals a hook-driven approach that sets it apart from past works. Built on metalcore foundations, the song balances melody and heaviness, while – kagami –’s clean vocals and powerful breakdown screams introduce a new emotional dimension that amplifies the overall impact. The song explores life’s duality, where happiness and suffering coexist as inevitable forces, ultimately serving as a reminder that everything fades and nothing lasts forever.

Lead vocalist Jeddy shares insights on the song: “The single ‘After the Storm’ represents the development of our musical sound toward something more melodic, while still maintaining its aggression. It also marks a return to the band’s metalcore roots.” The single was produced by Pongpan Polsit (Oak), bassist of iconic Thai rock band Big Ass, with mixing and mastering by Callan Orr, guitarist of Australian metalcore act Dream On Dreamer.

The music video, directed by IRO9X, employs Virtual Lab technology to build an immersive fantasy world around the band and the guest artist. Its production was supported by Thailand’s Creative Economy Agency (CEA).

“After the Storm” is available on all major streaming platforms. Physical copies can be ordered worldwide through Tragedy of Murder‘s official Facebook page.

In addition, the Thai act has recently unveiled their single “INSULA”, which is part of the collaborative album “Brain Mechanism” from Vom Records. Featuring eleven artists that add their own color, this exclusive album explores how the human brain processes perception and emotions, translating that experience into music. Tragedy of Murder delivers a track that reflects on being self-aware of our own sorrow and wounds, and finding the strength to face and overcome them. “INSULA” was released on streaming services on April 2, 2026.

A force on the rise, Tragedy of Murder continues to push beyond the local scene in Thailand, aiming to break into the global metal market.
