Aphyxion Release New Single/Video ‘Not Gonna Make It’
APHYXION is a fiction yet to be told...
APHYXION are not ones to succumb to genre definition and over the past few years the band have been perfecting and pushing their sound far from their death metal heritage. Today they unveil new track and video for ‘Not Gonna Make It’, which is a solid slab of melodic metalcore that rivals those of their more renowned counterparts.

The song’s title makes it very apparent that the topic of the new single can’t be a pure celebration of happiness. The band elaborate on the theme of the track:
"‘Not Gonna Make It‘ is a song about broken love – a sad reflection of a relationship that once was - and trying to clutch at a straw while drowning in emotions. We never really touched the subject of love in our songs before. While our lyrics have constantly been circling around dystopic subjects both on a worldly and on a personal level, we simply wanted to embrace our emotions and thoughts from a new perspective. While trying to leave a very black and white way of seeing things, we want to explore the polarity of emotions – where both love and hate co-exist because of their mutually dependent nature.”
APHYXION are not ones to succumb to genre definitions, and the release of their third full-length album ‘Void’ in 2019 marked the switch from their death metal heritage towards a more contemporary metalcore sound, creating something that already elevated the band to a new level. This band keeps moving boundaries, for themselves but also for their ever-growing followership.
They were the youngest band ever to play at Wacken Open Air and have also had the opportunity to support the likes of Metallica, Soilwork and Soulfly, accumulating more than 450 shows all over Europe until today.
