FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BalashToth Unleashes New EP "=Equation=" Along with the Release of the Third Single and Video "Shame x Failure"

Ireland – The wait is over! BalashToth, the solo project of former Casketgarden guitarist Balazs Toth, proudly announces the release of their second EP, =Equation=, now available in digital and limited digipack CD formats. The CD, titled "=Anti-Life/Equation=", includes both the latest EP and the project’s first release, offering fans a comprehensive collection of BalashToth's raw, riff-driven melodic death and thrash metal. The EP is available on Bandcamp and all major streaming platforms.

To mark the occasion, BalashToth has also released the third video from the EP, "Shame x Failure," partially directed and shot by Boris Sarafutgyinov, vocalist of the legendary German death metal band Fleshcrawl, Deprived Salvation, and his solo project Boris The Savage.

Musically, "Shame x Failure" is one of the most complex tracks on the EP, beginning with a relentless death/thrash attack and evolving into a progressive sound reminiscent of Tool. Lyrically, the song tackles the modern-day weaponization of smear campaigns, used to silence and discredit opinions and nullify the lifelong achievements of individuals who once enjoyed wide acclaim. As with all the songs on the EP, the title comes from the "anti-life equation," a concept introduced by DC Comics that represents a formula capable of stripping away free will.

The new EP explores themes of alienation, societal manipulation, and human struggles, blending folk music-infused melodies with aggressive death and thrash metal. Tracks like "Loneliness + Alienation" and "Folly" have already been released as singles, earning critical praise for their intensity and depth.

BalashToth has established itself as a standout act for fans of At The Gates, Dimension Zero, The Haunted, and Carcass, delivering a sound that honors old-school melodic death metal while pushing the boundaries of modern thrash.

Founded by Balazs Toth, based in Ireland since 2012, BalashToth began as a YouTube channel dedicated to guitar work before evolving into a full-fledged project with original compositions. Following the success of the 2023 EP Anti-Life, which was recognized as one of the Top 3 best Irish metal EPs of the year by Burning Metal IRL, Toth has continued to hone his craft with DIY production, blending relentless riffs with thoughtful themes that resonate with contemporary political and social struggles.

For Fans Of: At The Gates, Dimension Zero, Carcass, The Haunted

=Equation= is now available on Bandcamp and major streaming platforms. The limited digipack CD version includes both =Equation= and the first EP Anti-Life, offering a complete experience of BalashToth's evolution.
