Boundaries - Death Is Little More

Boundaries make heaviness hurt on Death Is Little More, a crushing and openly emotional metalcore record built for the pit and the heart alike.

Hailing from Hartford, Connecticut, the band released their third album in 2024 on 3DOT Recordings, sharpening a blend of melodic metalcore and bruising hardcore they had been honing since their early EPs. Grief and loss run through the whole thing, and that weight gives even the most punishing passages a sense of real purpose.

Lead single Easily Erased sets the tone, while A Pale Light Lingers brings in Alpha Wolf's Lochie Keogh for a guest spot. Blame's Burden features Marcus Vik of Invent Animate, and Blood Soaked Salvation adds Kublai Khan TX's Matt Honeycutt, a guest list that speaks to the respect Boundaries have earned across the heavy scene.

Matthew McDougal's ragged screams anchor the attack, while drummer Tim Sullivan's clean vocals add flashes of melody that make the darkness feel even deeper. The riffs are thick and the breakdowns relentless, but the songs never lose their shape or their sense of forward momentum.

Back on vinyl, Death Is Little More stands as a defining record for a band that has kept climbing ever since, and a reminder that the heaviest music often carries the most feeling.
