The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die - Dreams of Being Dust

Released 17th October 2025

SK says: "TWIABP follow 2021's sprawling, proggy Illusory Walls with a complete volte face- a streamlined, punishing metalcore album with screamed vocals courtesy of guests from the likes of Full Of Hell and END (even chief vocalist David Bello, one of the scene's mellower singers, has a noticeably angrier delivery!) Still full of the strong imagery and thoughtful political critique that has always elevated the Connecticut band's work but foregrounding guitarist Chris Teti's distorted riffs and legato runs, while Steven K. Buttery's pummelling drums have never sounded mightier. Despairing, defiant, angry but vital and of the moment."

The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die return October 17 with Dreams of Being Dust, an album that finds the Connecticut-formed collective plumbing the depths of emotional ruin and emerging with their most scorched, unrelenting work yet
