Aleya
British Alt-Metal outfit ALEYA, announce the release of their high-intensity sophomore EP -'How It Ends'. Self- released on 6th Nov 2026, 'How It Ends' is the outcome of their collaboration with producer Dan Fox at Treehouse Studio (Malevolence, Lake Malice, While She Sleeps). An attention gripping 6-track statement that explores the band's genre-twisting instincts, meticulous song crafting and unyielding creative chemistry. ALEYA 's Tom Evans (Vocals), Sam Lawson (Guitars), Mike Washington (Bass) and James Wright (Drums), have built a cohesive body of work that sounds bigger, bolder and more sonically ambitious than 2023's debut 'Idle Minds'. All songs on 'How It Ends' individually wrap around the human experience of 'loss'. In particular, the loss of faith in people, loss of control in life, loss of loved ones, loss of youth, loss of self-belief and the loss of meaning. A wide range of influences filter through the EP, with overtones of metalcore, nu-metal, alt-rock, post-hardcore, tech-metal and deathcore - all expertly fused together by the N.W England based ALEYA. The new record features three previously unreleased tracks, alongside key singles, 'Sapphire Skies'. 'Follow Me' and 'Old Friends. With continued support from BBC Radio One, Kerrang! Radio and independent stations around the globe, ALEYA enter a new era with the arrival of 'How It Ends'. The digital-only release is supported by a short UK tour this November, along with limited edition merchandise that includes holographic trading cards for devout followers. ALEYA comment on their latest release: 'We've tried to span as many parts of the metal genre as we can in this EP. SELF-TALK & Sapphire Skies are synth-driven, energetic and catchy, designed for a live setting. Follow Me & Old Friends move into a more melancholic and alt-rock style built around big choruses and cathartic singing, with Wasteland & DEATH SPIRAL being our 'heaviest' and most unpredictable songs. This EP brings together all the things we love in heavy music: surprise breakdowns, multiple vocal styles, guitar solos, big choruses, and sections for big circle pits.
