Arising Empire News: Banks Arcade, Any Given Day
Banks Arcade sign with Arising Empire and release new single 'Severance'
Arising Empire have never been ones to play it safe, but with their newest signing, they’ve doubled down on something far more volatile.
Enter Banks Arcade and their ferocious new single 'Severance', a track that doesn’t just blur genre lines, it tears them apart and leaves the pieces smoldering.

Built on a collision of punishing metalcore, glitchy electronic textures, and the swagger of modern hip-hop, 'Severance' feels less like a song and more like a system overload. It’s aggressive, cinematic, and calculated chaos, exactly the kind of statement you’d expect from a band that has never acknowledged the idea of staying in one lane. 'Severance' captures that momentum at full speed. There’s a maximalist intensity running through the track, industrial electronics colliding with downtuned riffs, hooks that feel like they’ve been dragged through a rave at 3am, and a sense that everything could fall apart at any second, but never does. It’s controlled destruction.

Any Given Day release new single 'Heal Me To Death'
With 'Heal Me To Death', Any Given Day deliver one of their most intense and emotionally charged tracks to date, a crushing metalcore anthem that blurs the line between healing and harm. Driven by razor-sharp riffs, thunderous breakdowns, and a haunting melodic undercurrent, the song dives deep into the toxicity of control disguised as care.

'Heal Me To Death' explores the suffocating weight of relationships where love becomes manipulation, and salvation turns into destruction. It’s a raw confrontation of inner conflict and external pressure, where the promise of being "fixed" comes at the cost of losing yourself. Lyrically, the band paints a dark and vivid picture: golden façades hiding inner demons, faith twisted into force, and words that cut deeper than wounds. The recurring line "Pour your cure like poison, watch me bleed" encapsulates the track’s core, a powerful metaphor for the danger of imposed healing and the violence of misunderstood intentions.
