Australiaโs death/groove metal bruisers Beleth are back, butt โ and theyโve brought a riff-shaped wrecking ball with them.
Their new single โThe Grinding Voidโ lands on May 15th 2026 as an independent release, and judging by the sheer weight of the thing, itโs less a song and more a flaming pit opening beneath your feet. Lovely stuff. ๐
From Pandemic Project To Riff Machine ๐ฅ
Formed during the chaos of the COVID era, Beleth began life as a recording project โ but once the world started creaking open again, the band didnโt vanish into the fog.
Oh no.
They got heavier, groovier, and far more dangerous.
Their 2021 debut album Silent Genesis landed through Wormholdeath Records, in association with Scorching Earth Records and Narcoleptica Productions, earning praise across the global metal press. With comparisons to Carcass and Lamb Of God, Beleth quickly marked themselves out as a band built on muscle, melody, and absolute riff carnage.
Since then, theyโve kept the furnace burning with independent singles โ including a bulldozing cover of Metallicaโs โNo Remorseโ โ and now, with new vocalist Dean Wade locked into the line-up, the next chapter is ready to explode.
โThe Grinding Voidโ Is A Proper Death/Groove Hammer Blow ๐ฅ
From the opening moments, โThe Grinding Voidโ feels like something crawling out of smoke, blood, and fire.
It builds with atmosphere before the riffs come smashing through like a tank through a kebab shop wall at 2am. The track keeps all the classic Beleth ingredients โ muscular riffs, rolling rhythms, monstrous vocals, and sharp melodic hooks โ but pushes everything into darker, meaner territory.
The chorus is big, addictive, and built for neck-snapping, while the whole track keeps tightening its grip until it reaches a furious climax topped off by a guest guitar solo from Aidan Cibich of Echoes In Eternity, formerly of Apophis and Taninโiver.
Tidy? Absolutely. Subtle? Not a chance. ๐ค
Armour-Plated Production โ๏ธ
The single was mixed and mastered by Lasse Lammert at LSD Studios in Germany, whose credits include work with Raven, Sigh, and Godsnake.
And mun, you can hear it.
โThe Grinding Voidโ sounds massive โ rugged, polished, and dangerous, with enough low-end bite to rattle the fillings out of your head. Itโs the kind of production that doesnโt just support the song; it kicks the door open and drags the whole thing into battle.
The track will also arrive with a lyric video created by Tony Kaarlas at Kaarto Media in Finland, premiering on May 14th.

The Riff Report Verdict ๐งจ
Beleth have delivered what may be their strongest statement yet with โThe Grinding Voidโ โ a crushing slab of death/groove metal packed with atmosphere, power, hooks, and enough riff-weight to cave in the roof.
This is not background music.
This is not polite metal.
This is stand in the fire and grin metal.
When May 15th hits, crank it loud and let the void do the grinding. Cโmon butt. ๐ฅ๐ค
