Introducing Feral Nature

Their new EP, Cradle of Twigs & Bone, is a testament to their raw energy and creativity. This release is characterized by a fierce blend of hardcore and metallic influences, creating a sound that is both brutal and intricate. Drawing inspiration from bands like Refused, Feral Nature incorporates dynamic shifts and a unique atonal attack, setting them apart in the modern hardcore scene.

Musical Composition
With contrasting male and female vocals, Feral Nature delivers short, adrenaline-fueled tracks that resonate with pure rage. The EP’s engineering and mixing were expertly handled by Rob Hamilton at Eureka Soundworks, while mastering was done by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. Cradle of Twigs & Bone is set to release on February 4, 2026, and is available for preorder now.
Concept Behind the EP
The band describes their latest effort as:
“A collection of our oldest and newest ideas. It’s a marriage of the truly disgusting and tragically beautiful things in our world. It’s a declaration of intent. Since planting our feet in 2024 with ‘Unleash’ and Rituals, we’ve done everything as DIY as possible and this is no exception. From writing to production to artwork, everything we do is an evolution of our voice as a band.”
