London technical metal unit PERPETUAL PARADOX have launched the newest single off their forthcoming EP,  May Misery Befall You.

“Source of Hate” is among the EP’s more direct and venomous tracks, built around big, punishing riffs rather than guitar fireworks. This approach allowed drummer Harry Cook to go absolutely feral, while the track’s slow, heavy callout is designed for the room to cave in.

Lyrically, the track digs into what happens when people are pushed so far that hate becomes the only thing they know how to give back.

“‘Source of Hate’ was written about the cycle of hate represented as a disease or parasite growing inside somebody,” comments vocalist Adrian Caucelo. “The body horror imagery is there to make hatred feel alive, like something feeding on you and reshaping who you are over time. At the start the hate feels external, like something forced onto somebody else, but by the end the character fully becomes it – ‘I am the source of hate.’ The song is also about people who constantly push and provoke others until eventually they create the exact anger and violence they were feeding in the first place. The ending line ‘you’ll choke on it yourself’ is basically the cycle continuing again instead of ever truly ending.”

Stream the song on Spotify and Apple Music.

May Misery Befall You is a five-song rager pulls PERPETUAL PARADOX back towards a riff-first approach to songwriting – technical death metal with blast beats, shred and melody, without letting the technicality take center stage. After the broader sprawl of their 2025 full-length, Deathwish, the band sought to make something more focused and unified, where riffs, solos, breakdowns and stronger compositional turns feel like proper sections rather than ideas stitched together in the studio.

Watch the official music video for the EP’s first single, “Smell the Rot” at this location.

May Misery Befall You is due out on August 28 via Bleeding Art Collective.

BIO:

Formed in London in 2021, PERPETUAL PARADOX have quickly become a standout name in the UK underground metal scene. Built around heavy, emotionally charged songwriting, the band have released several EPs, toured across the UK and Europe, and earned support from BBC Radio 1, Kerrang! and Metal Hammer.

Their debut album Deathwish marked a major step up, sharpening their sound and cementing their reputation for intense, technically driven modern metal.

Now, PERPETUAL PARADOX enter a new chapter with the release of their latest EP, May Misery Befall You. Darker, heavier and more focused, it captures a band pushing further into themes of grief, trauma and resilience, while continuing to build serious momentum.
