THE GLOOM IN THE CORNER Third Studio Album "Royal Discordance" Out Now – Band Shares New Visualizer "That's Life (Carry Me Home)"


Swarming with sonic haymakers, looming melodies, sharp narratives and astonishing dexterity, today Melbourne's The Gloom In The Corner ascend into a brand new era with the release of their hotly-anticipated fourth studio album "Royal Discordance", out now via SharpTone Records.

A record that could readily soundtrack an Anime epic, a Netflix smash series, or a sprawling open-world game, "Royal Discordance" is certainly not your average metalcore album.

Insatiably showcasing The Gloom In The Corner's relentless pursuit for sonic evolution, recorded in 2024 with producer Jonathan Delese in Nashville, Tennessee, "Royal Discordance" ushers in some of Gloom's most universal songs to date, all while remaining true to their chaotic core in the process. Whether channeling My Chemical Romance and positivity or penning pit-splitting breakdowns, The Gloom In The Corner balance their tumultuous creative DNA with an album primed for multiple revisits, while also devoutly treading new ground.

"Our next chapter fully encompasses what Gloom is and does, tailored and fitted to all means," shares the band. "A little bit of royalty, a whole heap of chaos, showcasing not just the characters and their identities at their highest and lowest, but also ourselves."

Accompanying the album's release today is also a brand new visualizer for "That's Life (Carry Me Home)".

Over the years, The Gloom In The Corner have engineered a space for total sensory immersion via a series of releases, spanning their 2016 debut album Fear Me, through to their Homecoming EP (2017), Flesh & Bones (2019), Ultima Pluvia EP (2020) and their 2022 album Trinity, with the latter commanding a 5/5 star album review from New Noise Magazine, praising it as "a real stunner and a benchmark for metalcore going forward". Translating their rich sonic universe into a live setting, The Gloom In The Corner have dazzled stages around the globe, spanning Australia, Europe and North America, along with aligning a horde of elite collaborators including Fit For A King's Ryan Kirby, Fit For An Autopsy's Joe Badolato, Cane Hill's Elijah Witt and many more.

Crafting a realm where elite storytelling and sharp delivery reins supreme, Royal Discordance is an album that will lure you back for more time and time again. And via Royal Discordance, The Gloom In The Corner remain a band beyond compare; a chaotic yet compelling chameleon in the modern heavy scene, spanning the entire aural spectrum of bliss, bloodletting and back again.

Closing out 2025 in Europe supporting Swedish metalcore greats Aviana, The Gloom In The Corner will support American heavies King 810 nationally in Australia this March, and will also perform this October as part of the entirely sold out inaugural Hellbound Cruise alongside Parkway Drive, Polaris and more.
