The unwavering force of the U.K. hardcore scene, Going Off, has just delivered their powerful new single, “Mourning,” which is taken from their brutal new EP, Kill List II. The song is a raw and deeply sensitive track centered around the story of a mother’s devastating loss of her firstborn son to extreme violence, demonstrating Going Off at their most emotionally heavy. Since bursting onto the scene in 2020 with their self-titled and Destroy EPs, the band has quickly cultivated a following due to their high-impact shows and relentless DIY mentality, proving they are a force that gets out there and inspires.
Kill List II is the ferocious follow-up to their 2024 record Die Fast, which Kerrang! praised as “speedy and savage hardcore that feels live in a dive bar.” This new EP confronts the rawest of human experiences with brutal musical intensity, channeling grief, rage, and resilience into a sonic powerhouse. Lyrically, the album is an unapologetic exploration of loss—of loved ones, of limbs, and of past versions of yourself. After spending the past few years tearing up stages on an extensive UK tour with Employed To Serve and Pupil Slicer, this new release confirms that Going Off continues to bend the elements of frantic hardcore under the weight of emotional magnitude.
