THORIUM present their crushing new single and video “MG42”, the first release from their upcoming album “Suburban Rot”, out Summer 2026 via Emanzipation Productions. The track delivers a relentless, bullet-fast assault of extreme death metal, setting the tone for what promises to be one of the band’s most uncompromising releases to date. Mixed and mastered by renowned producer Tue Madsen (Antfarm Studios), “MG42” captures pure sonic warfare in just a few devastating minutes.

Guitarist and composer JP Storm (ex-Dominus/Volbeat) comments: “It’s about terror and panic. My youngest son told me about the Hitler’s Buzzsaw, which inspired me to write this song. The riffs are a concoction of pure grind, syncopation and unpredictable patterns – with the aim of letting the listener experience the panic and accompanying disorientation that this machine gun’s oppressive and horrifying cadence of fire evokes”.

Join the premiering here:

Formed in Denmark in 1997, Thorium is a legacy name in Scandinavian death metal, with multiple albums and countless live shows behind them. With “Suburban Rot”, the band sharpen their already ferocious sound into something even more direct, violent and evoking.

“MG42” will be available on all major streaming platforms and with an official video. More details on the full album, formats and upcoming live dates will be announced soon.
