For fans of Coalesce, Botch, and Converge, Suicide Cages blends sheer sonic violence with unnervingly honest reflection. Their latest offering, Live Without, doesn’t flinch in the face of 2025’s overwhelming social collapse — it screams back. From themes of burnout, manipulation, and propaganda to internalized pressure and the disintegration of identity, the EP captures the raw tension and existential dread of modern American life.
Driven by a shared love for chaotic, emotionally unfiltered aggression, Suicide Cages (l to r) — Devin Rombough (vocals), Andrew Richo (drums), Matt Rinehart (bass), and Mhyk Monroe (guitar) — construct an auditory collapse that is as cathartic as it is calculated.
“Live Without” was recorded and mixed by Felipe Patino at Green Door Recordings in Denver, CO, and mastered by Grammy Award winner Will Putney (END, Better Lovers, Fit for an Autopsy) at Graphic Nature Audio, ensuring every blast beat and breakdown lands with maximum intensity. “Live Without” will be available across all major streaming platforms on July 7, 2025.
