LOW BEFORE THE BREEZE Release Final Single “Cadaver Synod” – A Haunting, Noise-Laden Centerpiece of Their Upcoming Debut LP

Apr 25, 2025

Atlanta-based experimental post-hardcore band LOW BEFORE THE BREEZE unveils the third and final single from their forthcoming debut full-length, A Hole Beneath The Home We Shared. Titled “Cadaver Synod,” the track is available now alongside a striking music video and stands as the emotional and sonic centerpiece of the album.

Named after the infamous 9th-century trial of a dead pope, the song reflects on the decay of a relationship and the death of a life once imagined. Through layers of weaponized feedback, textural electronics, and brooding ambience, LOW BEFORE THE BREEZE casts aside conventional guitar and bass arrangements in favor of something far more raw and elemental

The song’s structure is a descent: from ghostly electronics and stark spoken-word passages to surging noise rock riffs and abrasive textures that push the band’s sonic palette further than ever before. As with previous singles “Night Wept” and “Proverbs 7:22,” “Cadaver Synod” continues to showcase the band’s fusion of emotional hardcore, blackened post-metal, and harsh noise — drawing influence from acts like CULT LEADER, OATHBREAKER, and PORTRAYAL OF GUILT.

Since forming in 2021, LOW BEFORE THE BREEZE has carved out a distinct identity within the underground with their chaotic live performances, immersive atmosphere, and unflinching lyrical depth. With this final single, the band is preparing listeners for the full weight of A Hole Beneath The Home We Shared, an album shaped by grief, guilt, and the ache of memory.

LOW BEFORE THE BREEZE is set to release their highly anticipated album, A Hole Beneath The Home We Shared, on May 30, 2025, through Terminus Hate City. This album, rich with the band’s signature mix of screamo, black metal, and harsh noise, offers a profound narrative journey through personal trauma and existential angst. It features intense, emotive tracks that explore themes ranging from betrayal and loss to resilience and redemption, all framed within the context of religious and personal guilt. The album promises to be a cathartic experience for listeners, showcasing LOW BEFORE THE BREEZE’s growth both as musicians and storytellers. With the production handled by Conner Ray and the masterful mixing of Simon Small, this release is poised to resonate deeply within the heavy music community, reaffirming the band’s position at the forefront of the genre.
