Rising UK heavyweights CARTOONS CAN’T DIE are set to unleash their highly anticipated new album, ‘Rebirth’, on Friday, February 6th, and they have just dropped their enticing new single and video, “Kinslayer.” Already sparking exciting comparisons to giants like Whitechapel, Jinjer, Lamb of God, Periphery, Devin Townsend, and even Rammstein, the genre bending metallers proudly refuse to be confined to a single sound. Solidifying their lineup last year, the band is made up of Mac Gaisford (vocals), Maria Megally (vocals), Dan “Danny 5” Berber (guitar), and Ryan Shepherd (drums), and they are united by a clear mission: to push modern heavy music into uncharted territory and to forge a powerful sound without boundaries.
A major hallmark of the band is their dual vocal dynamic—Mac’s raw, harsh fury is perfectly matched with Maria’s soaring, melodic power. This vocal interplay creates a sharp contrast and a distinct identity for the band, amplified further by their horror drenched, apocalyptic visuals. CARTOONS CAN’T DIE are not just a band; they are expertly crafting a world that is as heavy and chaotic as their music, cinematic, unpredictable, and unapologetically inventive. Vocalist Mac reflects on the creation of the new album: “The record has been put together in the very best way — every song feels different, but it all connects. There’s no one genre running it, just whatever felt right in the moment. It’s intense, sometimes weird, sometimes straight up brutal. That’s the point though — it’s supposed to feel alive.” With ‘Rebirth’ on the horizon, the band will also embark on a headline UK tour, kicking off what promises to be a truly massive 2026, with festival slots already in the pipeline, further cementing their momentum.
