AXTY - The Pain Made Me Who I Am [Vinyl]

Emerging Brazilian metalcore/deathcore talent AXTY presents their bludgeoning new album, "The Pain Made Me Who I Am," released on August 21, 2026, via Napalm Records. Following high-performing pre-release singles like "selfish" and "fragile," and with over seven million streams on Spotify, AXTY has garnered global attention for their visceral blend of heaviness, powerful screams, and soaring clean vocals, creating an emotionally charged experience. Fresh off a North American tour with Born of Osiris and gearing up for a tour with Lacuna Coil, AXTY is positioned as an up-and-coming metalcore frontrunner. This album explores themes of self-evolution through harnessing pain and resilience, transforming adversity into fuel for growth. The album kicks off with the earth-shattering intro track "pain made me," featuring dense, down-tuned guitar chugs and hip-hop inspired samples. The anthemic "who I am" showcases the band's genre-pushing blend of intense polyrhythmic deathcore passages and soaring metalcore melodies. Tracks like "all I love" deliver pure metallic violence with erratic guitar work, hypnotic drum patterns, and addictive vocals from frontman Felipe Mendes Hervoso Martins, drummer Gabriel Vacari Marques, and guitarist Jonathas Peschiera Xavier. Martins' vocal versatility, shifting from clean crooning to superhuman screams, growls, and squeals, is a standout feature. Songs like "nothing but pain" inject heavy doses of the futuristic metalcore fusion AXTY is known for. Specifications:
