Thousand Below confronts their personal demons and innermost battles with their new album Hell Finds You Everywhere.
San Diego based rock and post hardcore band Thousand Below are currently on the rise and are quickly turning heads with their boisterous energy and the range of their sound. The band formed in 2016 consisting of James Deberg (Vocals), Josh Billimoria (Bass), Josh Thomas (Guitarist), and Max Santoro (Drums).
The band released their first debut album in 2017, The Love You Let Too Close soon after signing with Rise Records. The lead singles from their debut, “Sinking Me” and “Tradition” Their sophomore album Gone In Your Wake was released in October 2019 leading the album with their single “Chemical”. A short year later the band released their acoustic EP “Let Go Of Your Love” featuring acoustic versions of tracks from Gone In Your Wake along with a new original song. They later signed to Pale Chord Records as they were in the process of recording new material. Thousand Below has since then been put on a pedestal for their success and genre bending sound.
On December 9th 2022, Thousand Below released their new highly anticipated third album, Hell Finds You Everywhere. The album includes 10 tracks featuring their lead singles, “Sabotage”, “Venenosa” and “Face to Face”. The album features collaborations with other artists such as Noah Sebastian of Bad Omens, Matt Flood of Caskets, and CVLTE. Hell Finds You Everywhere is a remarkably produced album with heartbreaking and vulnerable lyricism dealing with personal battles and bold emotions. Throughout the album inflections of pop melodies that go straight into the band’s signature hardcore and fast paced breakdowns that pulls away from the lingering tension. The sensational and powerhouse vocals from Deberg seamlessly flow between the melodic choruses and switching to guttural screams that proves the passion of the lyrics. Hell Finds You Everywhere shows the progression of the band’s blend of instrumentation and a new direction that will take Thousand Below into new soaring heights.
The lead single “Sabotage” is the perfect introduction for what Hell Finds You Everywhere entails and what more is expected to come from the album. The track immediately draws listeners in with direct and provoking lyrics paired with soft underlying lustful pop elements that dramatically builds up intensity to a full blown cascade of stirring and intense drums and guitars. The strong vocals from Deberg adds to the emotional depth and fierceness of the track further pushing the track into becoming an exhilarating outburst of pent up rage.
