The band state: "Sunflower Shadows, Seething Akira's 3rd offering from their upcoming album "Cancel Estate" coming 25th October! This single shows a much more positive perspective from the sextet, whilst still displaying that signature level of aggression."

Following on from the release of their critically acclaimed 'Nozomi', Seething Akira are gearing up for their new album 'Cancel Estate, to be released on 25th October.
Seething Akira are a band built on the foundations of connection, sharing something special with a stranger and forming a bond that lasts a lifetime. Taking the most gloriously crushing parts of metalcore and joyfully triumphant elements of EDM and smashing them together with lashings of British grit, determination and cheek, they craft a uniquely vibrant experience. Delivering as many breakdowns that could cut diamonds as techno breaks that wouldn't sound out of place in the clubs of Berlin, they strive to unite two worlds with more in common than many think.
Inspired by the swell of the pit as much as the heat of the dancefloor, movement is encouraged, but so is critical thought. Though the band's music straddles the shoulders of the community proudly, it is when they are on stage together that it truly comes to life. They've shared their hopeful philosophy with everyone from Don Broco and Ingested to Skindred, Killswitch Engage and Sleep Token, as well as decimating stages at Download, Bloodstock and Victorious. And each performance they been a part of has been viewed as a blessing, a chance to change someone's perspective with the euphoria they have forged. There is no barrier between the band and the crowd, they are one in these moments
10/10 - Emerging Rock Bands: “Nozomi - New metal masterpiece!” Devolution Magazine - “In Nozomi they’ve created something very special. What these six guys from Portsmouth have just produced is a contender for album of the year.”
Bloodstock Main Stage 2023: MetalTalk - "With their adrenaline-fuelled approach, they tore the Bloodstock arena apart, and the masses responded in kind with pits and circles aplenty."
Dark Arts Conspiracy: "They are a band that need to be seen to be believed, especially in the live environment, where they truly thrive, being in their element. It’s no surprise that they have already supported the likes of Skindred, Hacktivist and Don Broco."
Seething Akira:
When did waking up with air in our lungs and blood in our veins stop being all we needed to know that life is wonderful?
At the end of everything, you won't be thinking of the things you bought or the number of followers you had. You'll be looking at the places you saw, the things you felt and the people you were with. That's what this should all be about. It's all this has ever been about. We just need a bit of reminding every now and then.
Seething Akira have made it their mission to be that reminder. That's because they are a band built on the foundations of connection. Of sharing something special with a stranger and forming a bond that lasts a lifetime. It's a sentiment that made them fall in love with heavy music in the first place, and since their inception in 2017, they have been striving to leave their mark on the genre in the same way their heroes have.
The future is more uncertain than it has ever been, but what we can control is the things that we stand for. As beautifully human as they are, they are wonderfully otherworldly; Seething Akira know who they are and what they believe now more than ever. Of what it means to make the most of our time and endeavour to make every moment one to remember. They want to be a flag in the ground for everybody else who feels the same.
So, are you coming along for the ride?
