Following a slew of prestigious tours opening for genre greats like The Browning, Born of Osiris, Lacuna Coil, and more, AXTY have been fast rising in the modern metalcore scene, proving their command of wicked breakdowns and inescapable melody.
Today, they have unleashed the hook laden banger of a single "nothing but pain." Cut from their forthcoming album, and Napalm Records debut, The Pain Made Me Who I Am, out August 21, AXTY hit listeners with a swelling flurry of infectious hooks juxtaposed against earth shattering grooves harkening to the days of nu with a modern deathcore menace.
Frontman Felipe Hervoso on "nothing but pain":
"'nothing but pain' is a raw, zero-filtering look at what it means to completely lose hope and struggle for survival. It leans hard into the darkest aspects of mental anguish, capturing the suffocating feeling of being dragged under by your own thoughts. It is a straightforward, uncompromising track built for anyone who appreciates music with real, messy, and authentic human emotion."

With their new album, AXTY explore universal lyrical themes of self-evolution through harnessing pain and resilience born from adversity, transforming negative experiences into fuel for growth. Moments of barbarism and serenity all tied together with infectious grooves, pristine production, and an unwavering dedication to brutality. Throughout its 12 tracks, The Pain Made Me Who I Am proves AXTY as a visionary force to watch in the ever-expanding modern metalcore scene — inarguably poised for star status as they climb the ranks.
AXTY about The Pain Made Me Who I Am:
"The Pain Made Me Who I Am revolves around human emotions, particularly the darker, more difficult ones. However, rather than dwelling on suffering, we focused on the role these emotions play in personal growth and self-evolution. Resilience born from adversity, the idea that growth and self-discovery are deeply rooted in struggle, we wanted to explore how negative experiences, rather than defining us in a limiting way, become the very foundation of who we are."

The Pain Made Me Who I Am delivers the goods from note one as earth-shattering intro track "pain made me" pulls out all of the stops — crashing in with dense down-tuned guitar chugs beneath hip-hop charged samples. Anthemic "who I am" showcases the band's seamless, genre-pushing blend with intense polyrhythmic deathcore passages and soaring metalcore melodies, while tracks like "all I love" incite pure metallic violence with the band’s erratic trademark guitar acrobatics, hypnotic drum patterns and addictive vocals — both crushing and clean — showcasing the broad talents of frontman Felipe Hervoso, drummer Gabriel Vacari, and guitarist Jonathas Peschiera. Particularly, Hervoso's keen ability to dramatically tilt his vocal approach from crooning cleans to virtually superhuman screams, growls and squeals will have his name on the lips of deathcore vocal enthusiasts in no time. Songs like "nothing but pain" inject heavy doses of the futuristic metalcore fusion AXTY has become lauded for, while album standouts like first single/album closer "end this" weave alternative and even nu-metal flavor into the album's addictive mix.
