The wait is finally over! The highly anticipated second studio album from British death metal powerhouse AS THE WORLD DIES, titled Nebula, has officially dropped today via Reaper Entertainment. Packed with earth-shattering brutality, immersive synth-driven atmospheres, and a narrative of cosmic devastation, Nebula elevates the band's sound to an entirely new level of intensity.
At the helm of AS THE WORLD DIES is guitarist and songwriter Scott Fairfax (Memoriam, ex-Massacre), a veteran of the extreme metal scene who has once again delivered a monumental record. Fairfax reflects on the album’s release, stating:
"We are beyond excited to finally unleash Nebula upon the world. Writing and recording this album has been an incredible journey—challenging, intense, but ultimately rewarding. This marks a significant step forward for us as a band, and we can't wait to hear the response. We’re grateful for the support of Reaper Entertainment and are eager to take these songs to the stage!"
To mark the occasion, AS THE WORLD DIES has released a stunning visualizer for the track "Blind Destiny," further immersing listeners in the album’s apocalyptic world.
For those who haven’t yet experienced the band's sonic devastation, I highly suggest that you check out their previously released videos:

"Under A Dying Sky" – Watch HERE.
Nebula is available now in CD, vinyl, and digital formats — secure your copy.
With a reputation for crafting crushing, atmospheric, and thought-provoking death metal, AS THE WORLD DIES has solidified itself as a dominant force in the UK metal scene. Fairfax's signature songwriting blends thunderous riffs, eerie 80s-inspired synthscapes, and apocalyptic storytelling, resulting in a sound that is both ferocious and cinematic.
At its core, the band feels that Nebula explores themes of cosmic destruction and human insignificance, drawing inspiration from real-world apocalyptic events, including the looming asteroid Apophis. By merging relentless death metal with haunting industrial elements and progressive overtones, the band continues to push the genre’s boundaries while staying true to its brutal essence.
Prepare yourself—Nebula is here, and AS THE WORLD DIES is only getting started.
