Los Angeles’ purveyors of industrial terror DAWN OF ASHES return with a new high-pressure dose of mechanized aggression: Hypertensive Crisis. This latest sonic assault marks a new chapter in the band’s legacy of apocalyptic audio warfare—where harsh electronics, blackened metal, and dystopian rage collide under a biohazard moon.
💀 This is not music. This is vital collapse.
Listen to Hypertensive Crisis here
Following the wake of 2022’s Scars of the Broken and 2023’s experimental deep cuts, Hypertensive Crisis finds Kristof Bathory and crew doubling down on chaotic BPMs, clinical distortion, and lyrical themes that bleed paranoia, medical horror, and psychic overload. Think surgical steel sharpened in a rave dungeon—frenzied, hypnotic, and violently cathartic.
⚠️ Sound Like Your Heart’s Exploding? Good.
From cyber-hospital aesthetics to BPMs that mimic cardiac arrest, Hypertensive Crisis is the sound of systems failing—on a personal, societal, and biological level. Fans of Psyclon Nine, Suicide Commando, and the raw early days of DOA will feel the pulse… or the lack of one.
The tracklisting and visuals for the release remain under wraps, but if the teaser campaign is any indication, this era will be DOA’s most volatile yet.
