FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Independent Metalcore Outfit Channels Raw Fury and Political Frustration from the Woods of Southern Maine
Southern Maine, USA — Rising metalcore juggernauts Dead in Your Eyes have unleashed their latest EP, Collection Agency , now available on all major streaming platforms. With unflinching honesty and sharpened rage, the band delivers a searing mix of blistering riffs, groove-driven aggression, and hard-hitting lyricism that fans of Blood For Blood , Rage Against The Machine , and Stick To Your Guns will undoubtedly connect with.
Since emerging from the unforgiving backwoods of Southern Maine in 2019, Dead in Your Eyes have carved their path with a no-bullshit approach to songwriting. Their debut full-length Wretched and Lost (2024) delved deep into addiction, depression, and toxic relationships—born from the band’s own struggles during their past battles with active addiction. Now sober and seeing the world through a different lens, the band turns their fury outward on Collection Agency .
“This EP is about the state of our nation,” says guitarist and co-lyricist Clayton James Rowe (C.J.) . “It’s not about picking sides politically—it’s about recognizing that the people in power don’t give a fuck about us. We’re working ourselves to the bone, 9 to 5, with nothing left to show for it. Meanwhile, politicians keep the score, take more, and leave us with the fallout.”
Frontman Jon Riley and C.J. collaborate lyrically to capture the voice of a working class fed up with being ignored. Collection Agency tackles the grim realities of everyday Americans—foreclosures, collection calls, and the impossible choice between feeding your family or keeping the lights on.
Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Brian Farnsworth , with gripping artwork by Chris Manos (Manos Photography) , the EP pulls no punches. The lyric video for standout track “Marvin Heemeyer” , created by Dean Jenkem , adds even more firepower to the band’s already blistering message.
Now officially endorsed by Black Harbor Sound and My Merch Guy , Dead in Your Eyes are grinding their way deeper into the heart of the underground scene with a voice that’s loud, clear, and impossible to ignore.
