Slovenia’s most awesomely audacious, genre-defying metal pioneers, Within Destruction, has dropped the brand-new single, “Incomplete.” The track is the latest single taken from the band’s upcoming album ANIMETAL, set for release on April 11th, 2025, via Sumerian Records.
Speaking on their latest release, Within Destruction share:
“The song’s animated video delves into the heartbreaking journey of losing someone deeply cherished and the emotional turmoil that follows. It begins with a raw expression of grief and loss of purpose in one’s life, consequently, the protagonist’s colour palette is darker in the intro. As the song unfolds, it moves through various stages of mourning – loneliness, longing, sadness and the haunting feeling of absence i.e. feeling incomplete. There are also moments of reflection, where the protagonist recalls fond memories, trying to hold on to the love that once was, but slowly realising that they must let go in order to move on.”
The band continues, stating:
“The video also touches on the feelings of helplessness, questioning if there was more that could have been done. As the song progresses, a sense of acceptance begins to emerge. The protagonist starts to understand that healing isn’t linear, and that while the pain may never completely fade, it’s possible to find peace in the midst of loss. The song closes on a bittersweet note, suggesting that while the person may no longer be physically present, their memory will continue to live on, offering a sense of solace. The protagonist’s colour palette becomes vibrant towards the outro, suggesting a sense of resolve to their former “in-complete” self.
“While the lyrics and video depict the loss of a loved one, they are also meant to be interpreted in a more general sense: To truly live is to embrace the full spectrum of life, knowing that even pain has its place in shaping who we are and without sadness, joy loses its depth and without hardship, triumph feels hollow.”
Building on the momentum of their previous singles, “Cybergirl”, “Demon Child” and “Kanashibari”, Within Destruction’s fifth studio album, Animetal, pushes their sonic experimentation to new heights. Combining their trademark brutality with anime-inspired electronic flourishes, the album reflects their fearless creativity and relentless drive to challenge genre boundaries.
Within Destruction kicked off their 2025 with a bang. The band hit the road in the US in January for their Super Sugoi headline dates. They then joined Born of Osiris for their US run. Now, the band set their sights on Australia and Asia as they gear up for their spring tour across both continents to celebrate the release of Animetal.
