JUSTICE FOR THE DAMNED RELEASE NEW ALBUM “STAY RELENTLESS”

Sydney metal heavyweights Justice For The Damned have unveiled their long-awaited new album, Stay Relentless, out today via Greyscale Records. They'll play three sold-out intimate launch shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra beginning next weekend.

The new album was teased over the months with singles "The Current",  "Built To Be Broken", "Stay Relentless" and "Clawing Wounds" feat. Taylor Barber from Left To Suffer. Their new record is primed to be the band's strongest yet, merging elements of the Justice sound that has always existed with much sharper and to-the-point songs. Justice For The Damned have leaned into crafting their album by drawing from the incredible artists they've shared the stage with and the crowds they've performed for: "A huge focus was writing music that would be fun to play live for the next few years—and we managed to do that while still retaining our favourite Justice tropes,” they explain. "Musically, we’re leaning further into a metalcore-mosh sound, paying homage to our early days in Western Sydney. We’re not reinventing the wheel, but we’re making sure it rolls smoother and heavier."

The reviews so far:

"Stay Relentless might just be the heaviest album I’ve ever heard, it’s so heavy it made me forget where my mum lives!" 
Tyrannocoreus on PBS FM 9.5/10

"This is an album built for the pit, built for the stage, and built to leave you battered, bruised, and begging for more."
HEAVY Magazine 9/10

"Stay Relentless continues the band’s legacy of creating some of the most focused and heavy metalcore in the scene currently."
Boolin Tunes 9.10

"Every band wants their studio output to give the listener some idea of what a live show might be like, but few nail it the way that Justice for the Damned do here."
GBHBL 7.5/10

"The Current slams, it's a very good return to form. It was worth the wait for fans"
triple j CORE on The Current

“The album goes really hard, the whole time I had a stank face going on, I think [it should be renamed] Stank Relentless”

'Stay Relentless' is the band first taste of new music in four years, since their critically acclaimed 2020 album Pain Is Power cracked the ARIA Top 20 and skyrocketed the band across the globe. They launched a few new tracks live on a month-long regional Australian run that wrapped in July supporting Make Them Suffer. In recent times they've shared stages with the likes of Chamber (us), Kublai Khan (us), Harms Way (us), Malevolence (uk), Left To Suffer (us), Thy Art Is Murder and have ticked off multiple sold out headline sets - proving why they've grown to be one of Australia's most revered metal bands.

Stay Relentless is out now and available everywhere via Greyscale Records.
