Baltimore’s End It is telling it like it is on their new album, ‘Wrong Side Of Heaven’, out today on Flatspot Records. The hardcore band has built a reputation through being unapologetically outspoken, playing fast, ripping songs, and putting on an electrifying live show, and they’re amping things up on their first full-length. Entering Salad Days Studio with renowned producer Brian McTernan (Turnstile, Snapcase, Hot Water Music) the band came in with a few demos and wrote the majority of the album during the two month recording process in early 2025. Taking direction from classic hardcore, thrash, and soul music, End It has crafted a 15 song magnum opus centered on “Spreading awareness of the change that’s coming to Americans, personal growth, and maintaining the ethics and integrity of hardcore.”
Throughout the album, the growth in End It’s sonic direction is evident with every unique note and distinct riff hitting larger than ever. Vocalist Akil Godsey’s lyrics not only feel like a gut punch, but serve as a point of self and world examination. From ‘Billion Dollar Question’ – “Who must die, to keep you in your luxury?” – to ‘Anti-Colonial’ – “A better tomorrow for you and me, forever we will scream for those unseen.” Closer ‘Empire’s Demise’ has enough bounce for the moshers and delivers an impactful commentary on the current state of America. “250 years. Empires can not last. I hope the end comes quicker than that” exclaims Godsey before the song descends into swirling madness.
From tracks calling out imposters to examining the uncertain times facing the world, End It has crafted an album with impactful commentary paired with an impressive sonic output.
Starting September 9th, End It will head out on an extensive North American tour, starting in September with a run of shows supporting Superheaven and a newly announced headline tour. The Wrong Side Of Heaven Tour stretches from Kentucky to Washington to Baltimore and features support from Ends Of Sanity, Soul Blind, Bracewar, Raw Brigade, Ozone, Clique, End Of Dayz, No Right, Hold My Own, and Cosmic Joke. Within the tour, End It will support blink-182 on two arena dates in Missouri.
