Hardcore band 100 Demons are back with their long-awaited third full-length, Embrace the Black Light, arriving June 5 via Closed Casket Activities.
After more than two decades since their last LP, the Connecticut band returns with twelve tracks that double down on their signature ferocity while pushing into new territory. Written throughout 2025 and crafted with intention, the album captures a band both refined and more dangerous than ever.
The first single, “Meat for the Beast”, is out now—blending 80s thrash influence with crushing hardcore energy.
Frontman Pete Morcey comments:
“We mixed in a couple styles on this one—blending 80s thrash metal and heavy pounding hardcore to give it that signature 100 Demons sound.”
Recorded at Silver Bullet Studios (CT) with Greg Thomas and Chris Teti, and mastered by Will Putney, Embrace the Black Light also features guest appearances from Colin Young and Taylor Young (Twitching Tongues / God’s Hate).
This marks a new era for the band—one built patiently, track by track, resulting in their most fully realized record to date.
