Florida-based progressive metal band Kaupe, formed in 2016, has announced their third album Destroyer of Worlds, set for release on October 17, 2025, via Morbid Subculture. The lead single RMR-1029, accompanied by a gripping music video, features guest vocalist Scott Angelacos (Bloodlet, Junior Bruce, Hollow Leg) and sample artist Viewer Discretion (ex-ACP PRO), delivering a ferocious statement on technological overload and synthetic identity. Watch it:
With razor-sharp guitars by Brett Walker, pummeling drums by Marc Larabel, eerie synths by Patrick Ross, and bass by Pete Medrano, the track’s groove-heavy breakdown resonates with fans of Converge, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Bloodlet. Destroyer of Worlds, featuring additional guest Matt Decker (Tangent, Ginko Balboa), explores dystopian themes with influences from Faith No More, Meshuggah, and Deftones.
