End is an American metalcore supergroup composed of singer Brendan Murphy (Counterparts), guitarists Will Putney (Fit For An Autopsy) and Gregory Thomas (Shai Hulud), bassist Jay Pepito (Reign Supreme), and drummer Matt Guglielmo (the Acacia Strain).[3]

History[edit]

The band was formed in 2017 and in August of that year released the song "Usurper", as a single from their debut EP, "From the Unforgiving Arms of God", which was released on September 8, 2017.[citation needed] In early 2020, drummer Andrew McEnaney left and was replaced by Billy Rymer[4]

On March 26, 2020, the band released the single "Pariah", and announced their debut album "Splinters from an Ever-Changing Face" would be released through Closed Casket Activities.[4] They released 3 more singles from the album, and on June 5, 2020, released their debut album, "Splinters from an Ever-Changing Face".[5] Forbes noted that the band seemed like the next powerhouse within hardcore music.[6]

On October 27, 2023, the band released their sophomore LP "The Sin of Human Frailty" through Closed Casket Activities, produced by guitarist Will Putney. The track list included features from Debbie Gough (Heriot), J.R. Hayes (Pig Destroyer), and Dylan Walker (Full of Hell).[7] As part of the album's promotion, the band played the Rockefeller Plaza retail location of Rough Trade NYC in Midtown Manhattan. Crowd members were witnessed stage diving off the cash register and dancing among the record shelves.
