Boundaries return with "Skies Cast Amber Black"
Boundaries return with Skies cast amber black, their first new music since their 2024 album “Death Is Little More”, and a track that channels the current cultural climate into a crushing, cinematic storm.
“I have a deep desire in the pit of my making to surround and suffocate the growing plague of people’s self-interest,” vocalist Matthew McDougal says of the Drew Fulk produced track. “Given the chance, I’d remove every ego from the music landscape and burn it off for fuel to power blood hungry behemoths whose only goal is to crush and disable. This song is my plea to cleanse a community I adore of people who see it only as an opportunity or a stepping stone.”

Boundaries are Cory Emond (guitar), Cody Delvecchio (guitar), Tim Sullivan(drums/vocals), Nathan Calcagno (bass/vocals) and Matthew McDougal (vocals). The Hartford-based band have released three full-length albums: “Death Is Little More” (2024), “Burying Brightness” (2022) and “Your Receding Warmth” (2020). Revolver described their music as “a fascinating meld of crushing sounds,” New Noise said BOUNDARIES are the “new standard-bearer” of metalcore, going on to say that it’s rare for a band to have songs that “have a vibrancy and violence that is wonderfully contrasted with such gothic melody,”and Boolin Tunes said they are “a beacon for hardcore bands to look towards.”
