Broken Fist has been released as the explosive second single from Aether Realm’s upcoming studio album, Season of Bloodshed. Issued via Napalm Records, the track features guest vocals from Taj Jewett and arrives alongside a music video.

Blurring genre boundaries, the single combines groove-laden riffs and a massive chorus with pounding 808s, synths, and symphonic arrangements, fusing melodic death metal with modern influences. Jewett contributes a commanding guest performance to back the band’s expanding sonic range.

The new material follows a tumultuous period for the North Carolina outfit since their 2020 release, Redneck Vikings From Hell. Navigating a global pandemic, Hurricane Helene, and a mid-record lineup change that brought in guitarist Chris Jones to replace departing member Donny Burbage, the band channeled their struggles into a darker direction.

Season of Bloodshed arrives on 11th December 2026 via Napalm Records.
