“‘Death is Little More’ is the culmination of our efforts at their deepest and darkest”, shares Matt McDougal, vocalist and lyricist for the band. “We wanted to create something that embraces, frightens, and calls the listener to action. It’s one part diary, and one part doomsday”.
McDougal also sheds light on the inspiration for the album title, the 14th century poem “Inferno, Canto I”: “Dante mentions dying would be barely any worse than living in a bitter black forest of existence. an idea I took and largely applied to the record thematically. ‘Death is Little More’ is about life at its most difficult. You’re not going to end your life, but you’re so stressed and overwhelmed that your life ending would feel like just another incident on the list. The concept stuck with me…”
Produced, mixed and mastered by longtime collaborator Randy LeBoeuf (Gideon, The Acacia Strain, Kublai Khan TX), the album also includes several guest appearances including Matt Honeycutt (Kublai Khan TX), Lochie Keogh (Alpha Wolf), and Marcus Vik (Invent Animate).
“Death is Little More” pre-orders are available here, with the album available on several, limited-edition vinyl variants, CD and digitally.

Boundaries is Cory Emond (guitar), Cody DelVecchio (guitar), Tim Sullivan (drums/vocals), Nathan Calcagno (bass/vocals) and Matthew McDougal (vocals). The Hartford-based band have released a pair of EPs: “Hartford County Misery” (2017) and “My Body in Bloom” (2019), as well as two full-length albums: “Burying Brightness” (2022) and “Your Receding Warmth” (2020). Revolver described the band’s music as “a fascinating meld of crushing sounds”, New Noise said they are “a new standard-bearer”, going on to say that it’s rare for a band to have songs that “have a vibrancy and violence that is wonderfully contrasted with such gothic melody”, and Boolin Tunes said they are “a beacon for hardcore bands to look towards”.
