British metalcore band BURY TOMORROW has launched its own independent label, Death Records, marking its departure from Sony Music after four albums, and released the label's debut single, "Sx," alongside the announcement.
"Sx" — shorthand for "Symptom" — was produced by Carl Bown, known for his work with SLEEP TOKEN and BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, and pulls the band's sound toward industrial, darkwave and electronic textures without abandoning the aggression that has defined its catalog. Vocalist Daniel Winter-Bates said the track reflects an ongoing tension at the core of the band's songwriting. "It's about grappling with the good and the bad every day, realizing that none of us are entirely one thing or another," he said, framing the song's exploration of light and doubt as a rejection of absolutes.
Alongside the single and label launch, BURY TOMORROW announced a major European headline tour for February 2027, including a stop at London's Brixton Academy, with the run expected to reach more than 30,000 fans across the continent. The current lineup features Daniel Winter-Bates on vocals, his brother Davyd Winter-Bates on bass, Kristan Dawson on lead guitar, Ed Hartwell on rhythm guitar, Adam Jackson on drums and Tom Prendergast on keyboards and vocals.
The move to self-release marks a significant step for a band that built its reputation over four Sony-era albums as one of the UK's most consistent metalcore exports, known for pairing Winter-Bates' guttural vocals with the band's melodic, anthemic choruses. Launching a label alongside a stylistically evolving single signals an attempt to control its creative direction more directly while retaining major-label-level ambitions for touring scale.
With "Sx" and Death Records establishing a new chapter, BURY TOMORROW enters a period of both sonic reinvention and structural independence — a combination the band is betting will carry it through its February 2027 European run and beyond, as it works to prove that stepping outside a major label doesn't mean scaling down its ambitions.
