Within Destruction Unveils “Animetal”: A Cybernetic Fusion Of Metal And Anime Chaos

For over a decade, Slovenia’s Within Destruction has been a band in constant motion – evolving, mutating, and breaking every preconceived notion of what metal can be. From their early days as a deathcore juggernaut to their current genre-defying form, they’ve never been content to stay in one lane. Now, with the announcement of their highly anticipated new album, “Animetal” – set to drop on April 11, 2025, via Sumerian Records – they’re ready to take their cybernetic, anime-fueled metal revolution to the next level.

Within Destruction has always thrived on chaos, but “Animetal” feels like the perfect culmination of their relentless experimentation. The band describes it as a defining moment, melding their signature heaviness with anthemic melodies, electronic elements, and unapologetically anime-inspired themes.

Thematically, Animetal explores a wide range of subjects, shifting between fictional, larger-than-life characters and situations, and motifs that are deeply relatable to everyday life. Heavily inspired by anime plots and protagonists, the lyrics often take on a first-person perspective, portraying the struggles these characters face. From the grim battles within one’s own mind to the delusions we sometimes find ourselves lost in, and the crushing weight of the external world, we aim to create a connection with listeners through the storytelling in these tracks.”

For a band that has fearlessly blended brutality with cyber-futurism, metalcore with trap beats, and breakdowns with anime aesthetics, this album represents the final transformation into something entirely their own – a new breed of metal that obliterates genres.

To mark the album announcement, Within Destruction has unleashed “Cybergirl”, an electrifying single that drags listeners into a dystopian, futuristic nightmare. From the very first note, the track is an adrenaline-fueled rush of relentless riffs, pulsating electronics, and soaring hooks, designed to pull you into its high-speed, neon-drenched world.

The official music video takes this vision even further, blending blistering performance shots with a dark cyberpunk aesthetic that feels straight out of an anime fever dream. Thematically, the song aligns perfectly with the album’s concept – blurring the lines between fantasy and reality, between human emotion and artificial constructs.

Pre-orders for “Animetal” are available now, and with their ever-growing fanbase and reputation for explosive live performances, it’s only a matter of time before Within Destruction takes their cyber-metal revolution to stages worldwide.
