Friday Dies, a band whose unmistakable blend of heavy and thrash metal first captured fans' imaginations in the mid-80s, is finally back with exciting news! The release of their original album, Return of the Witch in 1995, carved a path for them in the underground metal scene, becoming a rare gem in the archives of metal’s storied past.
Now, after years in silence, Friday Dies returns, reclaiming their legacy with their new album, The Sky is the Ocean, set to release on January 1st. Their comeback not only resurrects the thrill of their iconic sound but also opens a new chapter in thrash metal, one infused with the passion and skill of a band reborn.
With the single “Of Wizards and Witches,” Friday Dies reintroduces fans to the magic that made them legends. This song, from Return of the Witch, captures the potent blend of heavy and thrash metal that became their signature. It begins with ethereal guitar arpeggios, an atmosphere that builds gradually, pulling listeners into an auditory landscape marked by powerful, distorted guitar riffs. As the intensity climbs, drums thunder with relentless speed and force, creating a foundation as fierce and unyielding as metal’s most enduring classics.

The vocals—gritty, direct, and brimming with energy—anchor the track, bringing the kind of intensity that recalls the best of Anthrax and the raw power of early Rage Against the Machine. These vocals serve as a siren’s call, drawing listeners into the dark world of “Of Wizards and Witches,” a song that speaks of mystery and power.
The artistry of Friday Dies doesn’t stop with nostalgia. Their reunion has breathed new life into their sound, refined by years of growth yet firmly rooted in the grit that made them a staple of the underground metal scene. The Sky is the Ocean, their highly anticipated return, was recorded at TRAX 52 Studios with the guidance of skilled professionals, capturing an evolved sound that stays true to their original vision. This return is more than just a revival—it’s a rebirth, a sonic renaissance by a band whose journey in metal has come full circle.
