Addendum EP by 5 Ash Kills out on 24/9/24

Addendum EP

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 9th September 2024: from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch540

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 540

Hoping to spread a feeling of positivity and inspiration June Holland and friend/fellow artists Jack Ronan release their first collaboration "Happy Now".

Ready to boost your mood and bring a smile to your face? “Happy Now” is the perfect feel-good pop song you’ve been searching for. With vibrant melodies and a touch of jazzy flair, this song is about appreciating the present whilst staying hopeful for the future. The heartfelt lyrics urge us not to give up during tough times, encouraging us to look forward to the good things in life that may be just around the corner...

Overflow single from EP 'Addendum' release date 24/9/24

Lyrics

Overflow

And the sides of my tub are so slick
I should get out
There's less of me on the surface
Than I'd like

Failure to engage my impulse control
Sees me struggling all alone
Failure to engage my impulse control
Sees me lying in my tub alone

I see bleach on the surface
In the tense refracted light
And there's less of me on the surface 
Than I'd like
And this waters chilled and numbed my wrists
I should get out

Failure to engage my impulse control
Sees me struggling all alone
Failure to engage my impulse control
Sees me lying in my tub alone

Starting to overflow
Tub is overflowing
Starting to overflow
Tub is overflowing

As my bath turns red
After a sharp inhalation of breath
And the sides of my tub are so slick
I should get out

"5 Ash Kill's latest creation "Overflow" resonates with the raw, ferocious energy that fans of metal crave. The song masterfully blends an aggressive yet relaxed mood. The composition is enriched with strong vocal presence, alongside thundering bass guitar and vigorous percussion.
In keeping with the ethos of metal music, "Overflow" stands out for its authenticity and unfiltered expression. The track's intricate instrumentation and the absence of autotune enhance its raw and genuine appeal."

Metsän Synkkyys single from EP 'Addendum' release date 13/9/24

Lyrics

Metsän Synkkyys

Metsän äärellä yksin nyt seisot
Saatanan kieli sua kutsuttaa
Metsän polku niin pimeä ja kostea
Sun henki höyryää varjoissa

Ei kannata ikinään metsässä eksyä
Tai sitten sinne jäät kuolemaan
Peikot tanssii nuotion ympäri naurahtaien
Ja sinä katselet taivaasta alaspain....

Fake single from EP 'Addendum' release date 24/9/24

Lyrics

Water in the lie
Truth turns into rust
Two minutes too late now
Already past my prime

I see you dissolving 
Into nothing

Flicker so faint
Flames about to die
Hands held aloft now
For the last time

I see you dissolving 
Into nothing

Blinded by your bluff
Injecting the ill effect
Water in the lie
Hope is fading

Pupils dilate
In the low light
Instability creeps in 
Back inside

Blinded by your bluff
Injecting the ill effect
Water in the lie
Hope is fading

Never met anyone so fake!

Ashes to Obliteration single from EP 'Addendum' release date 24/9/24

Lyrics

Ashes to Obliteration

Scorched earth 
Hordes begins to rise 
Ashes fall like snow 
And burn into your eyes 
Humankind’s fate 
In the hands of just a few 
Unleashed apocalypse zombie 
Blood drain stew 
 
Unleashed 
Power 
Radiating 
Ashes to Obliteration 
Unleashed 
Power 
Radiating 
Ashes to Obliteration... 
 
Unleashed 
Power 
Radiating 
Ashes to Obliteration 
Unleashed 
Power 
Radiating 
Ashes to Obliteration!...

"Ashes to Obliteration takes you on a ride to the underworld. Experience nuclear annihilation in 4D as your mind is mutilated by the zombie hordes"

Ashes to Obliteration

Any Trip

5 Ash Kills is a ferocious three-piece metal band from the UK’s Kent/Sussex underground, born in late 2023 and forged from British grit and Finnish fire. Blending the brutality of death, thrash, and a touch of black metal, their sound is raw, uncompromising, and straight from the heart.
Unapologetically loud and intensely authentic, 5 Ash Kills channels the spirit of 90s metal while carving a path all their own. Every track is original—no trends, no pretense—just pure, soul-ripping riffs and bone-breaking rhythms that demand to be felt.
Their live shows? An all-out sonic assault: loud, fast, and impossible to ignore.
With influences from the likes of Lamb of God, Metallica, Death, and Pantera, the band delivers heavy music with meaning—crafted for those who bleed metal.
Their upcoming 2025 EP Retaliate is a blistering showcase of their evolution, packed with crushing anthems built to shake walls and stir mosh pits.
This is 5 Ash Kills.
No compromise. No mercy. Just metal.

5 Ash Kills: New three piece Metal band from Kent/Sussex formed in late 2023, rooted in the 90's metal scene. 5 Ash Kills is a British-Finnish powerhouse. As emerging veterans, they blend decades of influence into a sound that is heavy, raw and fiercely loyal to metal's legacy. The trio are driven by unbreakable passion for playing metal. 5 Ash Kills speaks to their fellow metallers who share their dedication to the genre.
